Helianthus is a staple of the classic cutting garden; the long, leafless stems lend themselves beautifully to seasonal flower arrangements. Plant in a children's or butterfly or wildlife garden, where the blooms will be visited by a menagerie of beneficial nectar-seekers, and finches will flock to its dried seedheads for late-season sustenance. |

| Care | Grows easily in average, moist but well-drained soils. Tough and adaptable. Water regularly first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system; tolerates some drought when well-established. Cut back at end of season, or leave seed heads for birds to enjoy. |
