Helianthus angustifolius
Helianthus angustifoliusThe perennial sunflower may not have as big a flower as its relatives, but it does have masses of them over a long period in autumn, and it is a tough perennial. Helianthus angustifolius can still reach a good height, 2m +, depending on conditions, and once the first flowers begin to fade, you can simply cut it back for a second flush. Attractive yellow daisy-like flowers with dark centres attract bees, which is always a good thing for any garden, and the deep green foliage acts as a good contrast.

A sunny position in a humus-rich soil is best for this easy-care perennial. Cut back to the new buds after the first flowers begin to fade for a second flush. As the foliage begins to die back in winter, simply cut it back to the ground.
