Yes . I have had it for four years . It can grow to be 15 feet or taller . You can trim it until the Fall to keep it shorter . Mine blooms in October for a whole month or more . The bees and butterflies go nuts for it . Marcia has one that blooms earlier . I took 18 inch stems and pounded them in the ground with a hammer . Every one took . I warn people - do not water these or fertilize them ! Just slam them in the ground and stand back ! It is a pain to clean up in Jan/Feb after freezes . Once a year is not too bad though for the reward of the gorgeous blooms . On a search you will see it called Mexican Sunflower , Mexican Daisy , Bolivian Sunflower , Tree Marigold or even Japanese Sunflower ! They are all the same plant . If you call it Tithonia diversifolia - you can't go wrong . Check google images for some excellent photos .
