plant sale text: Want sunflowers in your garden but don’t have room? Don’t have a garden but want some flowers in a container to brighten up your porch? Huzzah! Here is a short sunflower, blooming on 18-inch stems that will fit that bill quite nicely. Narrow leaves fountain from the stem as summer hums. Then in fall we are delighted by golden 2-inch diameter flowers with brown centers. These smile-bringers hold well cut, hold even better attached to their roots. Butterflies will sing your praises.
