'Sheila's Sunshine' is a vegetatively-propagated cultivar of the native Giant Sunflower, which hails from the eastern part of North America. It has an elegantly loose habitus, ghostly pale flowers (about 2.5" wide), and reddish stems. It's robust, but does not spread aggressively.
This is a very late-flowering perennial, one of the last to bloom in the garden in the early to mid fall. It's a magnet for bumblebees and native bees and provides an important late source of nectar and pollen.
Perfect for bigger flower beds, it looks very good with late-flowering Asters, Vernonia, taller Solidago or tall grasses - Andropogon gerardii, Panicum virgatum or Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster.'
Blooming Time: late summer into fall
Size: 7' tall x 2-3' wide (up to 10' in rich soils)
USDA Zones: 6 to 9
Culture: full sun to half shade, average soils (adaptable)
Moisture Needs: medium
Origin: native H. giganteus grows in eastern North America (USDA distribution map)
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: yes / yes
Attracts Hummingbirds: no, but other small birds eat the seeds
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 5" deep pot
