Helianthus giganteus (Giant sunflower) 6-pack

Helianthus giganteus, commonly known as giant sunflower or tall sunflower, is a herbaceous perennial plant in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). It is native to North America and can be found growing in a variety of habitats, including wetlands, prairies, and along stream banks.

The plant typically grows to a height of 4 to 10 feet and has an upright habit with rough, hairy stems and large, rough-textured leaves. In the late summer and early fall, it produces clusters of daisy-like flowers that are typically bright yellow, although they can also be orange or red. The flowers have a prominent central disk that is surrounded by drooping ray flowers.

Helianthus giganteus is a hardy and easy-to-grow plant that prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil. It is commonly used in prairie gardens, meadow gardens, and other naturalistic landscapes. In addition to its ornamental value, it is also valued for its ecological importance, as it provides habitat and food for a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. It is also commonly used as a cut flower in floral arrangements, and the seeds are eaten by birds and other wildlife. The plant can spread by rhizomes, so it may need to be controlled in some situations.
