Inula magnifica

another kind GOYer, this is lovely Gee

I bought this during a garden visit last year. It is only about a foot high at the moment. I had forgotten it is a giant. I was worrying that it did not like where I have placed it but maybe they need time to settle in.

Great picture Gee!

Looks a real knockout. I even liked it in Monty Don's garden. lol.

Looks magnificent Gee . 5ft is tall !

Same height as me, Amy :)

Me too Gee. Splendid plant...... but not for me, I fear. I googled it, lots of pictures. Some very shaggy ones. There was a huge clump of them in the long border at Gt Dixter. They like moist soil apparently. Moist mine aint after a very short bout of no rain.

I have heavy clay soil, Dorjac, so it if often damp although I have actually planted this clump in a drier spot in my back garden. I am hoping the flowers will grow shaggier with each year :)

A picture of liquid gold! Too tall for me too but love to see your plant Gee.
