General Information:
Adds real structure to the summer border. Performs right thru August when other perennials rest. Excellent as a cut flower.

Plant Care:
Prefers average, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Well drained soil is good for overwintering, but give Helianthus a good soaking if August begins to overpower. Can be divided in spring every 3-4 years. Cut back by one-half in early to midsummer to prevent staking. May want to leave seed heads on plants over winter to provide wild bird food.
