i tried to google your plant name.. and it SEEMS that it is an annual ... so i dont understand why yours is multiplying ... in z5 .... rather than re-seeding ... are you absolutely sure on the ID??? if it is a perennial.. and it is developing a fairy ring.. there would be no reason you couldnt cut it at noon, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock .. and move out 3 of them ... and then have 4 new clumps ... if in fact it is a perennial ... but a true ID would sure be a better starting point ... ken ps: i dont mean time of day .. i mean on the clock face ... lol .. 0, 90 degrees, 180, 270 ... and i dont mean temp.. oh for crying out loud ... lol

The large perennial Sunflower with profuse lemon yellow flowers is Helianthus 'Lemon Queen'. It is actually a hybrid of 2 species of Helianthus. I've had it for several years and love the soft yellow blooms (as do the Bumblebees). Please note that it is very vigorous and grows HUGE. I divide mine every Spring and can't believe the growth it puts on each year. I also pinch or chop back in early Summer, or else it can grow large and floppy. There is also an annual Sunflower called 'Lemon Queen' (that would be Helianthus annuus). I ordered some seeds for that this year because I love soft yellow in the gardens.

Thanks for posting this. I signed up and am going to see if the library where I work and schools where I volunteer are interested. Looks like it is a great learning project for kids (and adults!).
