Notes

'Sunrich' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Sunrich') is an annual for borders, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, and food 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 butterflies, bees, and birds visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer. The plant is ready in about 70 days.

Pairs well with Red Cherry French marigold, Zucchini, and Red fescue.
