This is a lovely Autumn plant, with a flower similar to a French Marigold, but on stems about 5ft tall. Beautiful for this time of year.

I've just been looking for seeds and seems T&M do a pack of mixed colours called "Arcadian Blend". Might give them a go next year.

Shall check them out, Claire, but next time I'm at Normanby will get some seeds!

How big are the flower heads?

About 3-4ins. Sal, not as large as our sunflowers but very attractive.
