Question
This flowering plant surprised me this spring. I looked for it again last week and it had died back. Do you know what it is? thanks for you help!
Answer
Dear rsunnell, you've photographed Petasites japonica (Japanese sweet-coltsfoot). The flowers appear in the spring, and the stems will senesce early (as you noted), only to be replaced by very large leaves. Best wishes.
