    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The longest blooming of all annual Sunflowers & probably the heaviest bloomer, too! Easily 5’ x 5,’ I love its unusual soft velvety silver-green foliage, intense branching habit & elegant 4” blooms, beautifully displayed for several months! A show stopping 30-50 flowers simultaneously bloom. Don’t forget – Sunflowers look most beautiful in loamy soil with compost added. Excellent for cutting & self-sows!
