Hi all, sorry to bother you guys again.

I was wondering if any of you guys could possibly shed light on the
hardiness of a couple of plants. I was looking at rudbeckia
occidentalis
"green wizard" and a Cardoon in various places online and off.
Depending
on
where you seem to be shopping, both of these have been marked as hardy
perenniels, tender perenniels, half hardy-perenniels, or even half hardy
annuals, I was wondering if anyone here had any first hand knowledge of
these plants as it's now getting a tad confusing?

Hi,
Cardoons are hardy in Aberdeen - I have had one grow outside for 4 - 5
years now.

Thanks, I guess if it can survive in Aberdeen then it's probably pretty
hardy)
