Narrow Leaf Sunflower

This tall, sun-loving perennial brings a radiant burst of golden-yellow flowers when many other plants are beginning to fade. Flowering from late summer into autumn in southern regions, it provides valuable late-season colour and supports pollinators when nectar sources are becoming scarce.

Its upright, branching stems create a natural, meadow-like presence, adding movement and structure to garden beds and borders. Ideal for full sun positions, it thrives in moist but well-drained soil and performs especially well in informal or wildlife-friendly plantings.

Once established, it is hardy and low maintenance, forming strong clumps that return reliably each season. Its long stems make it an excellent choice for naturalistic gardens, where it can be combined with grasses and other late-flowering perennials for a relaxed, flowing effect.

A generous and uplifting plant, it extends the garden’s display into the cooler months while supporting biodiversity and bringing a warm, golden glow to outdoor spaces.
