I planted quite a few yellow flowers this year and the one that I really want to grow again next year, I have lost the name of. It is a roughly one inch across and the flower is almost ragged and tatty and the stem is quite long and thin. Can anyone help please with the name.

Thanks for that, I found it in my plant dictionary, it is a coreopsis.

the only way is to look through the internet at daisy /sunflower type varieties and try to find it there are so many fitting your description otherwise have a look through the rhs a-z encyclopaedia and eventually you will find something similar to it

Many thanks.

Hi Flintstone. The only way you will get a definitive answer to the question is to post a picture of it. Sorry, we do try to help but there are dozens of plants that fit that description and I'm afraid that the impossible takes for ever.
