Notes
'ProCut Plum' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'ProCut Plum') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Each plant grows a single plum flower head on an upright stem. Deer tend to browse other plants first. The pollen-free blooms suit florists, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit them.
Pairs well with Black Velvet nasturtium, Asian Garden celosia, Red fescue, and Candy Stripe moss phlox.
