Starting to fill out nicely, quite pleased with how this is coming on I had to dig everything out of it and move forward spring 2012 so I had a gap to cut the laurel hedge behind.

Thanks Karen, a few other borders could do with the same treatment I think :-), doesn't look it but there is a couple of foot gap now in front of that hedge except where the inula is thats a monster this year, and one of those plants you move and end up with it in both places lol.

This ones called 'Racemosa' Karen can get to 8ft!!!, I've had 7ft so this is the year I can feel a 8 footer coming on lol, its another that seeds like mad and you have to get the seedlings out while small or you've no chance the longest tap root you've ever seen.

Hmm.....perhaps it's not so great as I thought!! I love the one with the shaggy petals...can't remember the name though.

Oh to have a border that size, looks wonderful Simbad....our Inula makes it to 8 ft.......

Orientalis Karen? I grew that one from seed too but the flowers weren't as shaggy as in pictures I'd seen and it didn't survive in my garden for many years strangely.
Thankyou Homebird :-)
Looking at how its growing Dd I think it might make 8ft :-), looking at this picture today can't believe how much this borders grown in just over 2 weeks!!!!
