Thompson & Morgan Sunflower Beaches Mix.
• Highly drought tolerant, resistant to salt spray, sea winds and dry, poor soils, this tough but graceful sunflower is particularly well-suited to coastal gardens and challenging situations where it delivers an abundance of showy flowers over an impressively long season.
• Produces masses of small yellow flowers with dark centres, each flower about 7cm in diameter.
• Unlike other sunflowers, these bushy plants cope well with exposed sites.
• Plants are fast-growing, spreading by runners to anchor themselves in the ground, and their flexible stems don’t easily snap in the wind.
• A magnet for beneficial pollinators, it’s an excellent choice for a wildlife or butterfly garden.
• Its long flowering season and elongated stems make it superb for cutting.
• Height: 1.5m (5ft).
• Spread: 60cm (24in).
