Taiyo Sunflower

Helianthus annus

Taiyo means Sun in Japanese and this sunflower brings it in a big way!  Each plant is a single stalk with one very very large flowerhead!  I had one who grew about 10 feet tall last Summer!  What a sight to behold.  This Japanese heirloom variety has the classic brown center with bright yellow petals that brings pollinators to enjoy the bounty and softness  of each large flowerhead.

Plant when soils warm in May.  Space about 12”-18” apart in full sun and give them room to grow.  May need staking as they get tall and large.  

70 days to maturity

Packet contains ~25 seeds
