| Good morning friends! This sweet little annual originated with my parents, many years ago. It is a self seeding annual. We always called it a black Eyed susan, but it's not a Rudbeckia. It grows 3 to 5 feet and blooms all summer. One year, we had a couple of them reach 7 feet! Thank you for looking!!

 Don't know why I didn't think of Dune Sunflower (Helianthus debilis) which is also found in S.C. https://uswildflowers.com/deta... ~ Eat, Sleep .... Play in the dirt ~ |

Stone and Lin, the data base lists Dune Sunflower as a vine. This is not a vine.  "Loving God... loving each other.... and the story never ends." Lyrics by Bill and Gloria Gaither Aint nothing flashing but the fireflies...lyrics by Paul Simon |

| I'm only slightly familiar with Helianthus debilis but there are five subspecies which vary widely in habit from sprawling groundcover types to tall erect plants to over 6 feet. Evan |
