How to Grow a Sunflower Bouquet Garden

Numerous leafy stems yield cheerful daisy-like typically brown-centered blossoms with yellow, orange, red, or coppery rays. Helenium ‘Short n Sassy’ (pictured) complements the rich hues of ‘Autumn Beauty’ sunflowers.

Plants grow up to 7 feet tall and produce 6-inch blossoms in sumptuous fall colors of bronze, rust, and deep burgundy.

Fuzzy, cushion-like 6-inch flower heads top plants that reach 6 feet tall. Excellent as a cut flower in bouquets mixed with other sunflowers and summer bloomers.

These vigorous growers require little care to reach 6 feet tall and produce an abundance of blooms. Both the velvety green leaves and showy hot orange flowers are beautiful in summer bouquets. Plants have hollow stems; cut carefully to avoid bending stalks.

These easy-to-grow members of the sunflower family yield a profusion of flowers from early spring into fall.

The chartreuse foliage and dangling flower tassels of amaranth ‘Green Tails’ complement the bright golds and rich burgundies of sunflowers in the bed and in the vase.

This easy-care annual grows as a low mound with trailing stems and forms hundreds of tiny, star-shaped yellow flowers. Useful planted as edging for summer garden beds.

Golden feverfew billows over the sides of the bed beneath the sunflowers. From mid-spring to fall, plants are covered with white daisy-like flowers with yellow centers. In bouquets, the flowers fill in gaps between large sunflower blooms.
