  • Question

    Last year I planted a black eyed Susan. This year a strange plant came in the same place. Could this yellow flowering plant with huge leaves be some mutant variety of the Black eyed Susans?

    Answer

    Dear rossvass, good afternoon. It looks like you have photographed Ligularia dentata (bigleaf leopard plant), which is a member of the composite family. It is commonly cultivated. Best wishes.
