Notes
'Sorbet Formula Mix' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Sorbet Formula Mix') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows fast, stands erect, and tolerates drought. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Candy Stripe cosmos, Cherry Queen zinnia, and Red fescue.
