Notes
'Goldy Double' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Goldy Double') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage 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. Its fully double, bright golden flowers bloom through summer. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit them. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Apricot Lemonade cosmos, Milkmaid nasturtium, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
