Notes
'Sunrich Orange' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Sunrich Orange') 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. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit the blooms. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows fast and tolerates drought, and it matures in 70 days.
Pairs well with Antiquity cosmos, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
