Family asteraceae Life cycle perennial (Z9-10) Flowers yellow Size vine to 9' Light part-full shade Cultural notes rich, well-drained soil Plant purchased from Peckerwood garden's nursery area without any further information.

I'll never know exactly what we had on our hands, because the plant didn't last long once hot weather arrived. On my next visit to Peckerwood, I noticed that the nursery label now says it needs shade, which is not what I provided.

This plant used to grow in our garden, but it slipped away...
