7. Silphium perfoliatum or Compass Plant, a fun plant also know as the cup plant because the leaves hold water. It never reseeded massively for me but I have seen where it has in other gardens

8. Heliopsis 'Loraine Sunshine' or False Sunflower. Does that one have variegated leaves? That's a really sharp looking plant.

Nice selection! :D That's smart to already know where your going to plant them. I'm an impulse buyer and then scratch my head wondering where I'm going to put everthing!

Nice selection! I don't envy you planting all those in this heat. Say, where did you get those anyway? Are you "just outside NYC" in Bergen County maybe?
