Lots of Verbascum
The gardeners in this area call this a Verbascum. But I didn't get this perennial on the island, but on the mainland, where the greenhouse, in White Rock, called it a Perennial Sunflower. Verbascums are from the Mullein family, and generally have small blooms on a tall spike.
This definitely resembles a sunflower of some sort. The plant divides really well...I have three offshoots from the main plant that we left behind in White Rock. They must be 8 feet tall.
This isn't exactly a mullein "spike", so I'm not sure why the garden people here call it a form of mullein. It must be an off shoot. Doesn't matter. I think it's an incredible plant.
