Bought several at a prestigious annual plant sale (long drive) for property line after hedge removed.

Loved the "feathery" foliage. Not cheap but very attractive. Lost the tag and no info on receipt (volunteers staffing registers) shows only amount. Local nursery can't ID. Vaguely remember might begin with "C" but by no means certain.

AFAIK, it is supposed to grow 3' + and have small yellow flowers.

Will try to upload pics and hope somebody recognizes plant.

Well, I got one uploaded, but can't get back into Photobucket for the other. Have had nothing but trouble with that puppy...! Maybe I should try the other site somebody suggested recently.

Thanks, but I don't think so. Small yellow blooms. Will try to post better picture.

Golden Shower Coreopsis, perhaps.

I checked pix on-line and I think you called it, Boron. Now I can sleep o'nights! That plant had been in garden so long I'd forgotten, if I ever knew.

Web sites commented about keeping dead-headed. They're so right!

Huge thanks!

Ouch, wait - I am losing my mind.

The plant you responded to is the one I *just bought* at plant sale.

I messed up by referring to a plant "that had been in garden so long...".

That one is ANOTHER plant I need to ID. If nursery doesn't call it, I will post pic.

Sorry about confusion.
