Summers Grand Finale in Holly's Garden

These Daisy like flowers come up in early Spring and grow all Summer, blooming in October when every thing else has faded or stopped blooming. They grow to almost 10 feet in height. Their roots spread under ground to the point a neighbor pulled all of this same plant up because they were growing out of control. Click on the picture to enlarge it, to see how some stalks have literally entwined themselves in the upper reaches of the Japanese maple!
It rained after I took this picture and they were mostly bent over, so we used trimmer line to tie them back up.
