Plant Cultures:

_______________________________

Downy Sunflowers Plant Culture

Sun: Sun to part-shade 

Soil: Well-drained average soil– happy in poor, gravelly soil too! Think roadsides & dry prairies. 

Water Use: Low– drought tolerant once established. 

Height: 2-4’ tall 

Spacing: 1-3’ apart for air flow

___________________________________

False (Oxeye) Sunflowers Plant Culture

Sun: Sun to part-shade 

Soil: Sandy loam but happy to try moist sunlit locations. 

Water Use: Low– drought tolerant once established. 

Height: 3-5’.

________________________________

Maximilian Sunflowers Plant Culture

Light: Sun

Soil: Moist to moderate soil; tolerant of wide range from average to sandy. Homing this sunflower in fertile soils produces weak stems making plants fall over. 

Water Use: Low– drought tolerant once established. 

Height: up to 10’ tall 

Spacing: 1-3’ apart for air flow

Birds love NATIVE sunflowers too as their central disk & flower petals produce seeds. Maximilian Sunflowers have disk full of seeds plus 19 petals with seeds! 

Don’t forget to leave the stalks alone until Spring for sheltering overwintering insects!

** makes a nice cut flower too but let flower heads go to seed for feeding the birds**

Fun Fact: Native sunflowers are actually members of the Aster Family but placed in the Helianthus family due to their button-like disks that hold abundant pollen & nectar for pollinators.
