Notes
'Summer Breeze Mix' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Summer Breeze Mix') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and tolerates drought. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Dazzler cosmos, Cherry Queen zinnia, and Red fescue.
