General Information GROWING TIPS

Offers bright yellow blooms with an orange ring and brown center. It is built on a well-branched bush-like habit that is perfect for the back of the bed, as an annual screen or along a fence. The blooms are about 4 in. across and do not need to be deadheaded to continue blooming. This plant blooms several-weeks longer than similar sunflowers due to its semi indeterminate to determinate habit. It is heat and drought tolerant, attracts pollinators and resists deer.

Uses

Great in landscapes and containers. It is well-suited to growing at the back of garden beds or along fences.  Makes a great cutflower.

Maintenance Notes

Great in average and rich soils, but also capable of growing in poorer soils and tolerant of dry conditions once established. A controlled release fertilizer application at the time of planting should be sufficient for the summer, however, a second application of controlled release fertilizer applied in mid-summer should increase bloom number and keep the plant producing longer.  A great home cut flower.
