My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Smaller coneflowers

14 years ago

I didn't want to say "dwarf" because I thought that would sound like they couldn't be over like a foot tall, but I am looking for smaller coneflowers. Is there such a thing as ones that are smaller than the usual ones that get to about 4 feet (in my garden anyway)? It was a lot of work to put brick paths in my garden and they're meant to be walked on, of course...BUT with as tall as my coneflowers get and half falling over, I always end up having to cut a lot of them back so I can walk back through the garden (and it's extra work that I don't need). I would someday like to get smaller ones if they exist. I just hope that they also attract the butterflies.

Cathy
