Notes
'Short Stuff Sunflower' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Short Stuff Sunflower') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance 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 tend to browse other plants first. Its blooms open from early to late summer and draw butterflies, bees, and birds. It also tolerates drought.
Pairs well with First Knight fountain grass, Chia, and Texas bluebonnet.
