This is a statuesque (6ft plus), very reliable and vigorous perennial sunflower that blooms quite late in summer. It's great as part of a prairie/ meadow or late flowering border. It looks great mixed in with the tall and red Crocosmia 'Lucifer'.
This herbaceous perennial is cut down to the ground after flowering or in early spring. It spreads very quickly and widely in fertile soil and can need staking in exposed sites.
It prefers fertile-ish moist and well-drained soil and will thrive in sunny and part shady sites.
It can be divided in spring.
