Common name : Outhouse Plant or Golden Glow. This plant was taken from another yard as a small clump. I have two clumps growing to fill empty spaces in the yard. The clumps are kept contained by digging trenches around the clumps. It can be a voracious spreader. Usually it blooms later in the season, but our warm dry summer appears to bring on blooms early. I tie a string around the upper area to prevent flopping after a heavy rain. I have seen the plant in many gardens, and nobody ever knew the name.
