Often used in wildflower meadows, prairie restorations, or as a backdrop in native and pollinator gardens. Long-blooming sunflowers attract bees, butterflies, and birds, particularly finches that enjoy its seeds. Cut back in late winter to encourage dense growth. Ideal for adding vertical interest and late-season color.
