Overview
Moonshine Sunflower illuminates the summer garden with large, pale yellow blooms and black centers. Growing to be about 5-6’ feet, this variety is perfect for the back of the garden or planted alongside a fence for a dramatic look. Pollinators love this open-pollinated, heirloom Sunflower and it makes for a fantastic cut flower – we recommend trying a classic look by placing a single stem in a mason jar. All of the seed we handle at American Meadows is non-GMO, neonicotinoid-free and guaranteed to grow. Annual.
