Helianthus annuus
Sow Spring (In Geraldton, anytime). Large plant over two and half metres tall with masses of small headed flowers. Drought tolerant oil variety, best on poor soils. During hot summers they cast a wonderful shade in vegetable gardens and serve as good decoys for pink and grey galahs. Chickens love eating the oily seeds. Sunflowers cross between varieties.
