Bush Sunflower

Bush Sunflower is a fast growing, summer semi-deciduous shrub that grows to about 1.5 – 5 ft. tall and 3 – 7 ft. wide. space 5 – 7 ft. apart. It produces many fragrant, daisy-like yellow flowers from early spring to midsummer.

It is easy to grow and adaptable to many soil types. Great for habitat gardens, as it attracts many pollinating insects, especially butterflies and native bees. Without any supplemental water, it will go completely dormant in summer, but an occasional watering will keep it greener. Its bloom season can be extended with frequent deadheading of spent flowers. Older established plants can be cut back hard in late fall to refresh.
