Like Karen I didn't know it was a medicinal plant either! I have seen them growing in gardens here in the UK since I was a boy but I've never grown them myself.

Hi Cottagekarer and Balcony,
Me neither had any idea about its medicinal character. I'm part of a Bothanical identification Group in FB, and have asked them do identify the plant before post it here.
Thanks for the landscape comment, you can see a tinny part of my house construction. I'm blessed for finnally have my own small land to plant. For many years I've been a coleague to Balcony, planting only in my small balcony.
I'll cheak it out if Golden Rod is the same plant.
Thanks both for the comments.

Hi Aleyna! What an interesting landscape :) Here in the UK Soliadago is known as Golden Rod and is extremely popular in the garden. I planted some last year in my own garden, but I had no idea it was a medicinal plant. Thanks for the lesson :)
