Sunflower, Wild West

Helianthus annuus

Nothing says summer like these sunny blooms lining gardens and roadways!

These tall, multi-branched sunflowers are native to much of the western US, providing food for birds and bees. Extremely drought tolerant plants can naturalize and grow anywhere. Will self-seed. They reach 6-8' tall, with 4-5" heads. 70 days.

Seeds grown by Earthly Delights Farm in Boise, Idaho.

Directions: When the soil has warmed thoroughly, sprinkle seeds in spring and rake in lightly. Keep soil moist until germination occurs. Drought-tolerant once established, do not overwater. Can be thinned to 12-18" or left growing together 6" apart.
