Notes
'Elegance Formula Mix' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Elegance Formula Mix') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms. It is drought tolerant and grows rapidly on erect stems. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Apricot Lemonade cosmos, Polar Bear zinnia, and Cerise Queen yarrow.
