Have you tried Solidago 'Fireworks'? I'm not sure of the species.

Ours is over 5 now and blooming/branching like crazy! Since you don't have any others in your garden (do you?) I bet it will come back fairly true next year. It's when you have multiple varieties around that they get a bit freaky. In fact, later I'm going to post a few of the smaller freaks that have been popping up out front lately. <BR/><BR/>I forget if you wanted some of that purple Zebrina mallow? Or are you scared it will take over? I'm going to cut most of the rest of them down this weekend, so I can send plenty of seeds!Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-16676234607579396922008-09-16T18:43:00.000-05:002008-09-16T18:43:00.000-05:00ivg,Well, that is good news and bad news regardin...ivg,<BR/><BR/>Well, that is good news and bad news regarding the Zinnias!
