About This Plant
A profuse bloomer, this "sunflower" is part of the Aster family and is adaptable to a number of growing conditions. Sometimes called early or false sunflower, because it's not a true sunflower, it attracts pollinators and birds, which eat its seeds. It looks great in mass plantings.
