They both appeal to me but I like Fashion Quilt the best. Those are still the oddest color coneflowers I have ever seen. Pretty though.

Purples are holding up well in the heat. I think you mean "perilla" (the purple-leaved herb).

Oh I like the blue purple of Midnight Spirit World. So many are called purple but for me this blue purple is true. What Rudbeckia is that, it's gorgeous.Love to see daylilies among the perennials.

thanks, I am happy with the Rudbeckia. 'Cherry Brandy' from bluestone perrenials. it looks a little redder in most catalog pics but I like this shade a lot in my garden, I hope to see it come back bigger next year hopefully.

Purple's are my favorite and you have some beauties.

I do love purples, thanks for sharing them.

I love purples too, Fashion Quilt is wonderful. I haven't seen that Rudbeckia before, I have to look for it, would look good in my garden :)

I like yur rudabekia. I planted a few last year, but they didn't make it through the winter. Or not sure if didn't make it because I bought them late and it was hot and dry last summer.

I like all the different lookd of Midnight Spirit World - whether it's been affected by the heat or not.
