Helianthus debilis. Like freshly churned butter, the petals of Italian White sunflowers are the palest yellow, almost white. They surround a dark chocolate-brown disk, bringing an appealing high contrast effect to flower borders and cut flower bouquets. The flowers appear on multi-branching stems over a long period in summer atop stems that can reach just over 2m (7′) in height. This classic heirloom is drought tolerant and thrives in poor soils.
