Notes
'Orange Hobbit' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Orange Hobbit') is an annual for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flower use. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stays compact with orange blooms. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Apricot Lemonade cosmos, Peach Melba nasturtium, Red fescue, and Cerise Queen yarrow.
