Notes
'SunFill Purple' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'SunFill Purple') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator 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 grows fast and stands erect with purple and green blooms, and it tolerates drought. It sits low on the menu for deer. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Apricotta cosmos, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
