This sunflower lives up to its passionate name with peach-toned blooms that brighten the garden throughout summer and deep into fall. Standing 3 to 4 feet tall with a compact 2-foot spread, it fits neatly into borders and cutting beds without overwhelming its neighbors. The variety's genuine drought tolerance means once established, it shrugs off dry spells that would stress other flowers. Pollinators flock to these blooms, turning your garden into a living hub of activity from midsummer onward.
Peach Passion Sunflower excels as a cut flower, bringing warmth into the home and lasting well in arrangements. The blooms are equally striking in garden borders, where their height provides vertical interest without towering aggressively. Gardeners also grow them to feed pollinators and wildlife throughout the late-season months when food sources naturally dwindle.
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in prepared soil. Seeds typically sprout within 5 to 14 days when soil conditions are favorable.
