Notes
'Hopi Black Dye Sunflower' (Helianthus annuus 'Hopi Black Dye Sunflower') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance 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. It grows about 8 feet tall, blooms from early to late summer, and tolerates drought. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with First Knight fountain grass, Purple Prince zinnia, and Flamingo Feather celosia.
