Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' with Bee

I've always loved the flowers of this plant. Just wish it weren't quite so tall.

Will have to move ours, as you say Karen, it is a tall one!

Karen, would it suit the back of your Golden Border?

Dotty, your plants must get travel sickness!

It might Shirley, but I think it would flop over everything. As you know, I don’t tolerate any disorder! Lol

Karen, I always think of this as an upright perennial, not a 'flopper' so to speak!

Do you know Shirley...I have had a very anti-herbaceous perennial mood lately. I have been plotting the demise of a few more of mine, having removed loads last autumn. Here is Scotland, the Winter is so long and the summers are so disappointing that I have decided to major more on the winter performing plants now.

Sounds a very sensible plan.

Shirley, I think they do!!

Talk firmly to yours Dotty! :o))
