Name That Plant!

Very tall plant with yellow flowers at top?

5 years ago

I've had this plant for a little over a year. I believe these are latecomers that came out of a butterfly seed packet but it took a long time to get tall and finally show some flowers. Is this a weed that I've mistaken as seeds from the packet or is it a popular plant for butterflies or...?

Hardy. Deadhead to promote new blooms. Let it continue to seed or not--depending on how many you want. A great butterfly garden or English garden addition.
