Helianthus laetiflorus aka Perennial Sunflower

Q: What is the sunlight requirement for Perennial Sunflower

Perennial Sunflower requires abundant, bright, and direct light to thrive. The best placement for this plant is within one foot of a window to ensure it receives enough light. If you live in an area with more extreme weather, such as hot summers or cold winters, you may need to adjust the placement of the plant accordingly. During hot summer months, it is important to place the plant away from full sun, as this can cause the leaves to yellow or burn.

By keeping an eye on the current weather in your area, you can make sure your Cheerful Sunflower is always in the right place to thrive.
