Description
The sunflower is a plant with a straight and thick stem, brown center and beautiful yellow petals. It is one of the favorite flowers for ornamental purposes, due to its color and elegance. But, beyond its beauty, it offers multiple benefits and uses. A sunflower plant is typically a very tall herbaceous ornamental. Its use is typically in the back of border plantings because it is so tall. The plant is a member of the Asteraceae (formerly known as Compositae).
