Notes
'Sunrich Orange Summer' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Sunrich Orange Summer') 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 blooms ten days earlier than the standard Sunrich series, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit the orange flowers. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Daydream cosmos, Uproar Rose zinnia, and Red fescue.
