    This plant grows quite vigorously, and has spread to cover an area of about 10’ by 4’ in the last 15 years of “freedom”. About 2-3’ high, and starts to flower in September until the first hard frost… IMG_4656.jpeg

    I wonder if it's a Coreopsis ? It reminds me of that ... There's one called 'Moonbeam' with white flowers.
    But I'm probably wrong :heehee:

      I think you are right, Coreopsis Verticillata Moonbeam :blue thumb:

      Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam' - tickseed

        That looks about right. The flowering period and growth description are both underestimates though! I wonder if I can lift clumps when it has gone dormant, to reduce its expanse in its current location, and introduce a little late colour elsewhere. Nowt to lose by trying?
