Looking for an impressive, towering flower that will make a statement in your garden? Look no further than Helianthus annuus 'Mongolian Giant'! This annual sunflower can grow up to 14 feet tall and produces flower heads that are a staggering 16-18 inches across. But it's not just the size that makes this sunflower special - it also produces some of the largest seeds you can find, making it a great choice for those who love to snack on seeds. The plants are native to the American prairies and attract bees and birds with their nectar and ripened seeds. Historically, sunflowers were used to symbolize hope for the future. To prevent toppling, it's recommended to stack the plants. This sunflower also looks lovely mixed in with a wildflower meadow, for a bright and cheery display.
