Notes
'Daydream Mixture' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Daydream Mixture') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and tolerates drought. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Dazzler cosmos, Cherry Queen zinnia, and Red fescue.
