Any ideas what yellow flowering plant is called

Last year I went to a garden nursery and this was planted in cafe garden. Fell in love with it but nobody there could tell me what it was call. Will post a close up photo. Plant was about 6ft tall.

At first sight I thught it was Hypericum hidcotegrown as a standards but on enlarging it I changed my mind. Have you got a closer shot?

Thank you Green finger, in the next photo both Hywel and Karen said they wouldn't have it again as it takes over. When I looked it up, I thought it might be Lemon Queen but thank you for confirming that my thoughts where right :-). I still love the look of it.

Your welcome, Jen. I didn't agree with their comments as I have this plant & it gives a wonderful sunny feel to the garden at the latter part of summer. It would be such a shame to dispose of it.

It was one I was thinking of buying as I loved the wow inpact when I saw it in the garden of the café at my local garden nursery, as you say, it really did brighten up that garden. I suppose it's all down to if there is enough room in the garden for it.

Sounds as though you have room Jen - go on, let yourself be tempted!

Lol Sue, only trouble is I told hubby what was said and he said that he didn't want anything that would take over so I will now have to persuade him :-). He has since ordered a tri-coloured buddleia to go in space I was thinking of putting Lemon Queen in.
