Notes

'ProCut Horizon' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'ProCut Horizon') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and makes orange blooms that attract butterflies, bees, and birds. It sits low on the menu for deer. Drought tolerance makes it an easy plant to grow.

Pairs well with Diablo cosmos, Profusion Double Deep Salmon zinnia, and Red fescue.
