This well-known annual grows on an erect, rough-hairy stem, reaching heights of up to 10 feet, with broad, rough leaves. The large "flower" of the sunflower is actually a "flower head" of numerous small, individual five-petaled flowers. This plant is highly attractive to birds for its seeds, and grows best in full sun and dry clays or heavy sands.
