Notes
'Gypsy Charmer' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Gypsy Charmer') is an annual for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates drought. Deer tend to pass it by. It blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with First Knight fountain grass, Bright Lights cosmos, and Cerise Queen yarrow.
