Specialty Gardening: Fall- What do you have blooming?, 1 by critterologist

Meredith, I think Million Bells is a tender perennial (just looked it up today, zone 8 or 9), so it should overwinter inside... I think it's generally propagated from cuttings, so you might want to try rooting some cuttings as a backup in case the plant doesn't adjust to its new digs.

I had blooms all over this tall plant in the back corner... put it in 2 years ago, maybe 3, and this is the first time it's bloomed or grown to any size... Tag is gone, but I have this vague recollection that it was called Mexican Sunflower? Anyway, the yellow blooms paired nicely in a vase with a late reblooming stalk of TB Iris 'Rosalie Figge', but the little sunflowers didn't last long before they started drooping. Pretty for a little while, though!
