I'll go for a Helenium, Sneezeweed, cultivar.

These grow from little bulbs and will eventually go through a rest period. I have a purple one and it goes through periods of growth, blooming, and then resting (when the old leaves die back). I expect like any bulb, the foliage is what it uses to maintain and grow that bulb, so keeping as many leaves as you can would help. However I don't think it would be too big a deal to remove some individual leaves to neaten the appearance.

I'm looking for short Gallardia that's hardy in zone 3 or 4. I'm doing a border and need a good amount. If there's something I have that you'd like let me know. Not everything on my list is available, but I'll do what I can.

Thanks for looking! Well, it is the same as the Windsors. They claim DTM 85 days, no way! I planted a bed in mid October and just harvested that batch last weekend, isn't that more like 200 days? My DTM is always much longer than the seed packets say for some reason. I cannot plant them in the spring! they would not mature before the hoards of plant eating insects invade. They are much happier in cooler weather, for us it is perfect to plant them as the weather cools down and as you say "over winter them". Not completely accurate since we don't really have a winter. Fall transitions directly into spring here. The deciduous trees have new buds on the branches before all the old brown leaves are done falling. I think I can plant about two weeks earlier (early October) and mature them in time. I still want to try different varieties anyway, more colors and flavors in the garden is always a good thing.

Man, that looks so freaking familiar. However, I cannot remind myself how it is called. Did you find that out at last? Honestly, I really like how it looks. It is both lovely and straightforward, that's what I like the most about flowers. It makes them unique. That's what I adore the most when talking about flowers. I have recently found the site with the most beautiful bell-shaped flowers. So, there was something a flower looking really similar. However, it's not the same flower. The other one has a brighter color.

Was correctly ID'd by Christopher several months ago as Helenium, aka sneezeweed.

This is helium. It is a perennial rhizomatous plant—straight stems, 1 m high. The foliage is dark green and lanceolate. Inflorescences are 7 cm in diameter. The lingual flowers of helenium are orange and tubular — brown. Flowering begins in mid-May and lasts about 30 days. In a winter climate, it can winter without shelter, and hot weather requires abundant watering. It bears fruit. You can extend the flowering period of the helium by shortening the stems in June. Don't know where to buy it? Call Mississauga flower delivery service. They have it.
