Sunflower, ‘Santa Lucia’
(Helianthus annuus)
‘Santa Lucia’ boasts 3-5” semi-double buttery yellow flowers on medium, uniform stalks 40-60” tall. Large, rich green foliage makes it a great choice as a natural hedge. The center is predominantly yellowish-green, and the delicate petals are narrow with a tapered point. This sunflower is a great option for pots and due to its branching habit, it is also great for cutting (even though it is not a pollen free variety). Prefers full sun.
