Hello everybody! I am growing the below plant which was sold to me as a Helianthus Lemon Queen. However, it is now developing these little blue flowers... Is this a "side flower" helianthus is developing, or have I been cheated?
Hi there. It looks like an Echium to me - much beloved by bees - and definitely not a Helianthus.
or an anchusa maybe
Puzzle resolved - it is an 'Anchusa Azurea Dropmore". Not a helianthus, so it will have to be transplanted elsewhere and replaced, but nice to have.
