Swamp Sunflower October 20, 2024

I planted a handful of plants in the Meadow several years ago.  And now there is a big patch of them.  The are pretty floppy, so this is the perfect spot for them.  I have them growing in 2 other places where they are not nearly so welcome - until now!  I learned that I can prune them and make a flowering plant that is only 4 feet tall at its tallest.  Game changer!  I can't wait to try it out next summer.  I won't mess with the ones in my Meadow, but in my 2 gardens, I will give it a try.  If I can keep them from leaning over, they will be soooo pretty in the fall.
