Q: I am thinking of planting this in a bed near my driveway entrance. The location is at the bottom of a small hill and while water doesn't stand there, it does stay moist most of the year. It is full sun. Would this plant do well here?

Accepted Answer

It should grow fine in most containers. In smaller containers, it may need water more frequently.

Accepted Answer

It will probably be alright, though it prefers well-drained growing conditions. Tall coreopsis might be a better choice as it likes wetter conditions. You could also try showy coneflower or orange coneflower, if you're looking for yellows.

Accepted Answer

It depends on how dense the cedars are. In dense cedar stands, you could try pussytoes and cedar sedge or oak sedge. Bee balm, dittany, Ohio horsemint, jumpseed, cliff goldenrod, and star tickseed may also work. However, when you walk through dense stands of cedar, you just don't see a lot of other vegetation.

Accepted Answer

Many sources indicate that star tickseed is deer tolerant. Deer typically ignore this plant unless they've eaten everything else.
