Sunflower Mix
(Helianthus annus)
One can hardly avoid seeing Sunflowers anywhere in the United States. They are quite tall, love the sun, and spring up in fields and vacant lots, thriving in disturbed soils along roadways during construction projects. A wide variety of soils become home to the Sunflower. As a cut flower, it has a vase life of 6 to 10 days.
