Okay - this is driving me crazy! I have started from seed last year and this year different types of Black Eyed Susans, Rudbeckia's, Gloriosa Daisies. Which ones are Perennials, Annuals, or Self-seeders? I was expecting a bunch of BES this summer from last summer, but either they were annuals or they were self-seeders and I dug them up! I've been out putting plant markers on my perennials this summer so I know where they are next spring. But I love some of these so much, I'm starting more from seed next spring! Anyone?

My favorites are the one with the green eye and the brown eyes - the tall ones!

By the way - I have checked from ParkSeed or Burpee where I got the seed and some say one thing and Googling the internet says another!

I'm in the far North and my Rudbeckias come back every year in the same place. I know the Indian Summer and Hot Chocolate are perennials, they are blooming right now in my garden as well. I have a few others as well.

Not sure on the Gloriosas though.

I try to take one day at a time -- but sometimes several days attack me at once.
