Seeds arrived today! I'm planting these two species of native sunflowers in memory of my grandma who absolutely loved sunflowers.
Prairie sunflower has that typical sunflower look that most people think of when they think of sunflowers. It's an annual and will have to either self-seed or be planted by me every winter.
Woodland sunflower looks like most native sunflowers and rosinweeds. It's a perennial that spreads aggressively by rhizome and should do well in shadier areas in my yard.
Both are very important for pollinators and will be a great addition to my yard if I can get them established.
