Notes
'Incredible' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Incredible') is an annual for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage 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, stands erect, and tolerates drought. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Butterflies, bees, and birds all visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Dazzler cosmos, Brocade French marigold, and Red fescue.
