Their sturdy stalks support large, heart-shaped leaves. Ideal for dramatic backdrops and natural screens, they attract pollinators and provide seeds for birds. Direct sow after the last frost in sunny, well-drained, fertile soil. They require ample sunlight and benefit from staking. With their impressive stature and cheerful blooms, tall sunflowers make a striking statement in any garden.
