Wintersown last year with good results. It has amazing, large blossoms for such a compact plant.

I love this plant. It is so compact that it is great in the front of a mixed bed, yet it has nice 4" flowers. The flowers are true "black-eyed susan" in appearance and face directly upwards. It's very hardy and showy for something so small.
