Located with a distant view of the River Deben in Suffolk and open to meadows. I am trying to merge the garden with the wild indigenous plants.

Perennial sunflower at its best now after a two or three months of flowering. Such a great plant

It’s lovely but it spreads so fast, I don’t have room for it

Perennial Sunflower taken as a side shoot from my sons plant in the spring is doing really well….. I didn’t know they existed until last summer!

I can thoroughly recommend the plant Kerry….. doesn’t seem to attract any nibblers and is quite sturdy too😀

First time I’ve grown perennial Sunflowers….. I took a rooted side shoot off my sons plant in the spring and it’s grown to over 6 feet tall. It’s great that it will grow back bigger and better next year😃
