Thanks, but I don't think so. Small yellow blooms. Will try to post better picture.

Golden Shower Coreopsis, perhaps.

I checked pix on-line and I think you called it, Boron. Now I can sleep o'nights! That plant had been in garden so long I'd forgotten, if I ever knew.



Web sites commented about keeping dead-headed. They're so right!


Huge thanks!


Ouch, wait - I am losing my mind.

The plant you responded to is the one I *just bought* at plant sale.

I messed up by referring to a plant "that had been in garden so long...".

That one is ANOTHER plant I need to ID. If nursery doesn't call it, I will post pic.

Sorry about confusion.
