Notes
'Sunrich Lime' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Sunrich Lime') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage 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 and lime green blooms. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. This hybrid grows fast, matures in 70 days, and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Diablo cosmos, Profusion Double Hot Cherry zinnia, and Cerise Queen yarrow.
