The Sunflower Tree grows really quickly and has cute flowers that are about 2-3 inches wide. When it's fully grown, it's about 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide, like a big, cozy blanket.

Even when it gets a bit chilly in winter and there's a light freeze, the Sunflower Tree doesn't mind too much. It bounces back every spring, even stronger than before, like a champion.

If you live in Central Florida where it sometimes gets a little frosty, the Sunflower Tree is a super good choice. It's like a tough, colorful wall that grows fast and makes your yard look awesome.
