Mexican sunflower ( Bolivian sunflower ) Fast growing, looks good with lots of yellow flowers.. and can be chopped and dropped as organic fertilizer on trees or banana mats.. Easier to control than bamboo ( i have nice "small" clumping variety Alphonse Karr ) and wish I would have known about the Mexican sunflower Tithonia diversifolia before I purchased multiple bamboo. bamboo is nice for harvesting and using the sticks, but 1 clump is more than enough for the average guy.
