Love your prose to explain the ups and downs of growing such a majestic plant. Ours seeds all over the place, those seeds left by the hungry goldfinches that is. :-)

Thanks for the link.

I think it might be Rudbeckia laciniata ‘Herbstsonne’. Have a look at this link:

But promise me you won’t climb a ladder to do so.

They are tall and beautiful ! Hope it was a short ladder !
