Notes
'ProCut Bicolor' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'ProCut Bicolor') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Its mahogany red flowers have orange tips and a dark disk, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Candy Stripe cosmos, Polar Bear zinnia, and Red fescue.
