Notes

'Rococo Frilled Mix' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Rococo Frilled Mix') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator 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 and stands erect, and it tolerates drought. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms. Deer rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Candy Stripe cosmos, Uproar Rose zinnia, and Red fescue.
