Goldenrod

My neighbors have well-behaved goldenrod that is less than 3 ft. high.  I have out-of control goldenrod, which reseeds all over the place and grows to about 5 ft.  Someone suggested I move mine into the shade to help control it.  There are very few flowers that bloom in my yard in the fall, so I don't want to get rid of all of it. 

 

 

The sedum is starting to turn pink. Sedum is not my favorite plant because it often gets tall and floppy, but again, not much is going on in my yard in the fall, so I appreciate anything that blooms.

 

 

Last year I had hordes of volunteer marigolds.  This year only a few came up.  I planted the original seeds about 6 years ago.
