Sunflowers are native to America. These plants often reach over 10 feet in height when grown without competition from other plants. The flower heads can be more than eighteen inches in diameter. Only one large flower grows on each plant, making them a very striking addition to any garden. These extremely tall, large flowering plants produce an abundance of striped sunflower seeds that are plump and tasty. A row of mammoth sunflowers makes an excellent windbreak. These plants can also provide shade when grown on the south side of the garden. These are truly remarkable flowers, towering above the tallest gardener. (Annual)
