Can anyone identify this plant, which is growing through my Heleniums? It is four feet tall and the flowers are about the same size as a daisy.

    Symphyotrichum lanceolatum is the best match that I can find, but I don't know how it could have got here.

    It could be Erigeron Annuus, the tall Fleabane.

    I think it is Erigeron anuus. I did grow one a number of years ago, this is presumably from one of its seeds which has finally decided to germinate. Apparently it can self-seeds freely, although not so much for me!
