Notes
'Pastiche' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Pastiche') is a plant for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows fast and blooms in summer and again in autumn.
Pairs well with Sensation cosmos, Red fescue, and Milkmaid nasturtium.
