Even if they don't get damaged they need to be trimmed back or they will eventually split and break off but they are a great addition to the late summer garden. <br /><br />Hi Lorraine, I do love their bright yellow flowers. Hope you are enjoying these milder days in your garden. <br /><br />Hi Janice, They are beginning to set seeds. If you would like some I'd be happy to mail you some. They grow super easy. Send your address to me via email - smyers1108atgmail.com. That goes for anyone else who would like seeds. <br /><br />Hi Lynn, it is a neat old plant that grows super fast. <br /><br />Hi Leslie, it's kind of like a jack in the beanstalk plant because it grows so fast. It's a must-have plant in my garden. I just bought a Rosinweed at a native plant sale because I remembered how beautiful it is in your garden.

It truly adds a beautiful, bold and towering presence and I adore the jungly look too.

My new privacy fence is looking a little bare, I need some nice tall flowers like those. I just love plants that evoke childhood memories.
