My on-line friend Jacula suggests that it is elfwort (Inula Helenium) but this grows to only 5 feet high and my plant is easily twice that. Also, I was wrong about the flowers growing in clusters. They grow singly, each one shooting up like a dandelion (see photo taken last year). Come on, plant lovers. Name this enormous beast! Remember, the leaves are 2 feet long by 8 ins broad, silvery on the underside and slightly rough to the touch on the topside. The tallest one in the garden right now is 8 feet high and still growing.
