Helianthus 'Grey Stripe'
Growing upwards of 12' tall, this giant sunflower produces blooms just as big. Huge yellow flowers range from 6-15”. This variety is easy to grow and thrives in conditions that are less than ideal. Plant a row close together to create a natural privacy screen or make a statement. Birds love these seeds. People love them too and they are excellent roasted as a snack.

Sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Or, start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost and transplant seedlings.
Plant seeds individually, 1” deep, and 6-12” apart, in rows 30” apart. Water the seeds directly after planting and then water consistently throughout the season.
If planting directly outside, cover the area with netting or landscape cloth until they sprout. Birds love to dig them up for a snack!
Stagger plantings over the course of several weeks for continuous blooms.
