It is easy to control and blooms constantly even during drought conditions. The bees and butterflies seem to enjoy the nectar too. I originally grew my plants from seeds I collected on the roadside in Galveston.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164915867453750571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31716379.post-901419773948592522012-08-11T08:35:18.882-05:002012-08-11T08:35:18.882-05:00Wow - that plant is most certainly going on the &q...Wow - that plant is most certainly going on the "Buy This Fall/Winter" list. <br /><br />On further checking I read Linnaeus named the plant after a legend surrounding Helen of Troy (The "Helen" in Helenium).

Absolutely no care, it grows from a single stem so if you need to remove some it comes up with one pull (very deep tap root), needs no water, flowers prolifically until frost, comes back reliably and seems to stay in the harshest areas - in the sand cracks between the limestone and in a granite pad. I don't notice it anywhere else. It's very welcome.Capybarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01246593391757793036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31716379.post-79874783300074170432012-07-31T13:13:35.631-05:002012-07-31T13:13:35.631-05:00I was considering just filling our "verge&quo...I was considering just filling our "verge" with rock, because the grass never is difficult to keep alive, but this would be a prettier alternative.Jaimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329712467292592801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31716379.post-20983617551682316412012-07-31T11:25:18.533-05:002012-07-31T11:25:18.533-05:00I have some (that I got from my mom, who has used ...I have some (that I got from my mom, who has used it for years). It reseeds itself prolifically, so you will probably have to pull out some vagrants each year.Bethnoreply@blogger.com
