Notes

'Winter Zohar' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Winter Zohar') is an annual for borders, cut flower arrangements, and pollinator 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 sits low on the menu for deer. It bears orange blooms that attract butterflies, bees, and birds, and it tolerates drought, so it needs little care once settled.

Pairs well with Daydream cosmos, Uproar Rose zinnia, and Red fescue.
