Notes
'Peredovik' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Peredovik') 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 handles drought well, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit it. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Cerise Queen yarrow, Empress of India nasturtium, and Red fescue.
