I think we have this plant Scotkat, which I forget the name of!
It has just about finished here with all the seed-heads hanging on now.
I am hoping some little birds might find them! I seem to remember we have had Goldfinches feeding on them in the past, but haven't seen any for quite a while now.
I hope they return.

And does it grow back again Shirlwhirl as hoping the new gardener does not remove it as its been stunning .
He has been removing plants for the winter.
But as its a microclimate be good to leave and see what does grow back.

Oh yes it does grow back again & increase in size.
I had to lift mine last year, clean it up (because it was getting smothered in ground elder!!), then replant the 2 or 3 sections I made from the original..... and it's o.k. this year.
It also seems to self-seed easily, I have found several new plants about the garden!

Thankyou Shirl so hope they do leave it as wont be back untill Spring.

Is it a Rubeckia Shirl?

I just looked up that one S'k and looked at the others as well. I think mine might be one of these below, because it is not as tall as yours.
File:Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii 'Goldsteinii' - blossom top.
Rudbeckia Little Goldstar Black-eyed Susan.
Anyway whichever it is it is very attractive & bright. :))
