Notes
'Sunbright Supreme' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Sunbright Supreme') 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 it, and it grows fast. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. You can enjoy the blooms from summer into autumn.
Pairs well with Sulfur cosmos, Profusion Orange zinnia, Red fescue, and Cerise Queen yarrow.
