(The large yellow one)

Thanks

dont know but its amazing!!

Sorry about the huge picture!

also amazing were their tomatoes.....

inula  helenium.

Takes over if you're not careful, split it and chuck half of it away each year.

If it's Inula  Helenium, if just found this site with some delightful info:

I reckon it's rudbeckia. Elecampane (Inula) flowered months ago and has already finiiished for the year. Seeds should be available shortly if the test pot germinates.

Just as well you chaps are around - I would have guessed Jerusalem Artichoke ;D

thats what i thought too. :D

When I lived in Scotland had a perennial Helianthus that looked a lot like that in my garden. I never found out exactly which one it was though.

I'm voting for Helianthus Lemon Queen.

We've seen it in quite a few gardens this autumn & it's at it's best this time of year.  Gets up to 6ft in clumps.

Cheers

Thanks everyone, I also thought it may be JA especially as it was in the flower area of the walled kitchen garden.

Helianthus (inc JA) - definitely.

Lemon Queen - I think you may be right


Off to the nursery now!
