Stella D'oro? You mean Stella D'OH-NO...

These little yellow stinkers are saturating every Wal-Mart parking lot, clustered around every strip mall's roadside sign and jammed in the "landscaping" of every newly constructed house due to their "re-bloomability" (new word, dont bother looking it up).

As far as reblooming goes, they aren't so hot. You get a first flush and then a dribble of blooms after that. Nothing so rad as to have covered half THE FRIGGIN' EARTH IN THEM. They are short and wimpy and you just end up looking at that lame grassy foliage and I'm just not having it. No.



No.

    That is so funny! Back when I was a wee gardener, I used to like these. Probably because everyone else did, too, and I didn't know enough to make up my own mind. Although I like the bloom, I'm with you on the foliage--it always appears limp to me and I just want to kick its little foliage butt to get it to stand up straight.

    can you talk about echinacea sundown? a plant that should be removed from the species? it starts out with pow pinky/yellowy/orange and then petals fade to a soupy brownish pink. and stay on then plant until the first frost so everyone asks if it is dead.

    Alright-calm down...yes they kind of suck, but if you mindlessly fertilize them and pollute the water table in the process you might get a few more blooms out of them...and they hide daffodills spent leaves really well:)
