This giant among sunflowers is a fast grower whose single stalk can reach 12 inches tall and produces one 10"-12" flower! Not fussy about soil, it's very easy to grow and drought tolerant. Grow in a tight row to make an attractive screen. Sow monthly for continual blooms into the fall. Edible, gray-striped seeds invite birds in the fall (if you don't eat the seeds first!). Edible, bittersweet petals make a sunny garnish on salads and appetizer plates. Attracts pollinators.

"Every time I've gone into this place has been a lovely time. Their plant selection is terrific, with beautiful sculptures and even turtles hanging out! Took a class with Evan today and made bookmarks, I plan on coming back to take more classes."

"I’ve been here many times to get irrigation supplies. I really appreciate their knowledge, patience, and assistance on the subject. I also like that in their lawn irrigation center, it’s only supplies you might need for your lawn, nothing else."
