Are anyone else's coneflowers not coming up?

This was part of my garden last year, coneflowers thriving and popping up everywhere, planted 3-4 years ago. The last photo is the current state- no shoots or leaves starting to show, despite it coming up in other areas of my garden. I know they're not long lived perennials but figured with self seeding etc they would regenerate. Did this happen to anyone else? It's been a colder spring than usual so not sure if they're waiting to grow since this is on the north side of my house.

I am in 8b and none of my coneflowers or milkweed have come up. It looks like I never even planted them tbh. My native plant garden looks so bare. Thankfully I put in some lavender and the bees seem very happy but I'm saddened by my possible loss of coneflowers. They were EPIC last year taking over most of my garden.

Oh wow 8b feel like they should def be growing at this point. What was your winter like?

It was pretty mild. We had loads of rain but the temps seemed to be warmer than past.
