mexican sunflower

15 years ago

At one of the trades I got a Mexican Sunflower plant. Not sure who it was from, but I want to say a huge thank you. this plant is now over six feet tall and has so many flowers on it it doesn't look real! It is still going strong even after a couple of very cold nights. Thanks again, it has given us so much pleasure.

Save the seed heads when they dry. Scatter them around late next spring when the ground warms, saving some to scatter mid-summer.

Butterflies will thank you.
