Comments (8)jjdbike, as Msssherry said, Thihonia (Mexican Sunflower) is great, especially for Monarchs, I think! It doesn't get as big up yonder in Zone 6 as it will in Msssherry's zone 8, and will not grow rapidle or flower till late June or July. Mine (started from seed in early March) is still only about a foot tall. With temps now reaching the 80's they have begun to grow quickly, and have put on as much growth in the last week than the 2 months since germination! There is also a lower growing cultivar called "Torch" that is only supposed to reach 36". This year I put in a row of the regular Tithonia (that gets around 4 feet) in along the fence, and a row of the torch in front of that, for a 2 tiered effect. Be sure to plant some milkweed close by as a host, because Monarchs seem to love Tithonia, and it provides a good source of host plant and nectar for the Monarchs on teir fall migration back to Mexico!

Comments (7)I was kind of suspicious of that, Gldno, since not only are there clumps of rose campion in her garden but also along a lonnnng section of fence. I knew surely she didn't BUY all those plants, lol....See MoreHelp to ID an Annual Flower #1
Comments (8)Okay, I think it's a potentilla. Found it in a weird way...couldn't see the leaves clearly, so googled "5 yellow heart-shaped petals" and found this picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/beakers_glass/2289307770/in/photostream/ Since the parts I could see seemed to match, I looked for those leaves in your pics and I see them (or at least something similar). That I recognize as a possible potentilla leaf. So google "potentilla usda" and see that there are 84 species in the U.S. Go through the maps and see which ones are in the NJ area, and see if any match. Probably by the time I've done that, someone else will come along and already name it! Here is a link that might be useful: Potentilla species...See MorenatureinspiredM_ 6B NJ
