A cheerful and dependable annual sunflower, Helianthus annuus ‘Floristan’ is a classic cut flower variety that brings bright, sunlit color to the summer garden. Its rich golden-yellow petals surround dark, velvety centers, creating the iconic look of a traditional sunflower. Borne on sturdy, well-branched stems, the blooms are excellent for cutting—perfect for fresh bouquets, market bunches, and home-grown floral arrangements. This tall sunflower variety also adds height and warmth to borders, cottage gardens, and meadow-style plantings.

Highly pollinator-friendly, the open flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, while the seed heads that follow provide a valuable food source for birds. Easy to grow and rewarding, this sun-loving annual thrives in full sun and average, well-drained soil, and is notably heat- and drought-tolerant once established.

Growing 4–6' tall, it has a strong, upright presence without feeling coarse, blending beautifully with ornamental grasses, cosmos, and other summer annual flowers. A versatile and reliable sunflower for cutting gardens and pollinator gardens, ‘Floristan’ captures the essence of summer with ease and charm.
