    I grew mixed perennials from a pack of seeds...& I don't know what they are! The pack of seeds said it may contain more than 20 different perennials. Can you say "Science Project" for a newbie gardener! lol
    I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me can help!

    The yellow with red center flower is Plains Coreopsis. An annual in most areas.

    4 looks to me lika an annual black eyed susan.
    1 and 4 look to me like accidental inclusions, though not necessarily terrible.

    Thanks everyone. I thought pic #2 was a Coreopsis, but the sucker is 4 foot tall! After they all bloom, should I trim them back? I'm sure I should have been pinching out the tops all along, but I was just so dang excited that they came back! (started them last fall, all foliage- no flowers!)

    I have the yellow only variety of coreopsis and I love them they come back every year and are lovely enough to let my daughter cut and bring in the house. our garden superstores sell them for $7.99 for a gal potted. good deal for a seed pack!
