Growing and Maintenance Tips
Prefers moist or average soils in full sun. Do not spoil it with excessive water and fertilizer or it may lodge a bit. The rhizomes are attentuated, so the clump gradually grows larger. Propagate by seed, cuttings or division. Helianthus can be quite invasive. Use in the back of a border garden to accent lower growing perennials.
