This variety of hybrid Willow-leaf Sunflower originated in New Zealand. It is very floriferous, almost hiding the foliage with the showy masses of yellow, daisy-like flowers, late in the season. If you are looking for a great cut flower you have found your plant, because these look gorgeous in a vase.

This species grows easily in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soil types. If the plants are grown in full sun they will be self-supporting, but if they are grown in partial shade they will be taller and weaker, possibly calling for the use of a stake to hold them up. Require a considerable amount of room. Flower late in the season so deadheading presents no advantages.
