Notes
'Suntastic Yellow with Black Center' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Suntastic Yellow with Black Center') is an annual for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It stays compact at 12 to 24 inches tall, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer. Bloom runs from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Bright Lights cosmos, Double Zahara Cherry zinnia, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
