Can you plant pentas, zennias, coneflower and black eyed susans together?

Pentas in the back, zennias, then cone flowers and black eyed susans. All like full sun. Some are clump plants and spread and some don't come back. Can they all be planted successfully in one flower bed.

Can you plant pentas, zennias, coneflower and black eyed susans together?
definitely, the cone flowers will take up to 5 years to reach maturity and need some space so don't plant to close to them or block their light the petunias would go best near them. The black eyed susans are also perennial and may be best in the back of the bed as they are vigorous. Zinnias come in a range of sizes if you have the big ones they could go in the back too.


Sounds like a beautiful combo good luck!
Reply:Definitely. Just make sure that you take into account how much coneflowers and black eyed Susans will spread. I have a very similar combo and I'm constantly pulling up unwanted coneflowers.
Reply:they say individual grouping is better but i have better luck with mixed . according to size
