This cultivar is new on the market. It grows about 3 to 4 feet high by 2 to 3 feet wide. It was bred to produce many firm stems bearing lots of flowers that bloom longer than the regular Annual Sunflower from late spring into the fall. The flowers are free of pollen, but do produce nectar for some beneficial pollinators. One can continuously cut off some flowers to put in vases and such.

I understand that this annual does not produce seeds.
