Notes
'Starburst Greenburst DMR' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Starburst Greenburst DMR') 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. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the yellow, golden, and white blooms. It grows fast and has some resistance to downy mildew. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Cupcakes Blush cosmos, Profusion Double Deep Salmon zinnia, and Cerise Queen yarrow.
