Dozens of showy 3" sunflowers blooming September until frost. This is a large plant, reaching shrub-like proportions by late summer. It has a tendency to splay open when it gets top-heavy with flowers, with flowering stems flopping over this way and that. While that was a bit of a liability with its original placement in the middle of a large border, it actually makes for a serendipitously charming display in combination with the stream coming down from our waterfall.
