Notes
'ProCut Red/Lemon Bicolor' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'ProCut Red/Lemon Bicolor') 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 and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The red petals have lemon tips around a dark disk, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Purity cosmos, Profusion Double Hot Cherry zinnia, and Red fescue.
