Large and small classic sunflowers, and multi-petaled pom-pom types will brighten your garden, draw pollinators, and make cheery bouquets to embellish your indoor spaces. Branching, drought-tolerant plants will be loaded with sunny yellow blooms from summer to fall. Great in containers or as a short, annual hedge. Fantastic first-time flower for your little elves—oops!—kids to grow! Sunflowers are edible, with a bittersweet flavor. The petals add a pretty pop of color on salads and desserts. The young, sunflower buds are edible, with a flavor similar to artichoke hearts. They can be grilled, marinated, or sauteed for an unusual appetizer or side dish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHelianthus annuus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAsteraceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNorth America\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAnnual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e16\"–24\" tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4\"–6\" wide bright yellow and golden, single and double flowers, some with dark centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFull sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSummer to frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttributes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAttracts Pollinators, Cut Flower, Drought Tolerant, Good for Containers, Heat Tolerant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Sow Outside:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Start Inside:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date.
