Notes
'SunFill Green' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'SunFill Green') 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. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought. It is a novel green sunflower with purple and green blooms.
Pairs well with Candy Stripe cosmos, Spitfire nasturtium, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
