Helianthus annuus – Indian Blanket is a unique looking plant with large, dark red to reddish- brown flowers with yellow petal tips and a dark center. These blossoms rise above oval to heart-shaped, hairy, toothed, dark green leaves. They have a blooming season ranging from late summer to fall, will grow between 4 – 5 feet tall, and do best in full sun with moist, well-drained soil. An interesting fact about sunflowers is that they were named for their habit of turning their faces towards the sun. They have an ancient history beginning with Native American tribes across North America. The seeds were used for oil, and the plant was also useful because it provided dye and medicinal ointment. Sunflowers were also widely used in gardens and for making cooking oil; then, the production of this heart-healthy oil became a major industry. These flowers will attract butterflies, bees, and birds to your garden while being resistant to deer and rabbits. They are great for cut flowers, and do well in containers, beds, and borders. They are easy to grow and drought tolerant, which is always good for the busy gardener. Sunflowers are also said to be the happiest of flowers and symbolize loyalty and constancy.
