About this plant

Sundial is a tall false sunflower that thrives in full to part sun and well-drained soil in USDA zones 3-9. This striking variety produces gold flowers with distinctive red eyes from midsummer through fall, reaching 4 to 5 feet tall. The bicolor blooms create dramatic visual interest and attract abundant pollinators to the garden. Heat and drought tolerant once established, it’s an excellent choice for back-of-border placements where its height and color can shine.
