Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Santa Fe' is a cultivar of Maximillian Sunflower, selected by Sante Fe Greenhouses (High Counrty Gardens), for its large golden-yellow autumn flowers that form along the top half of the stems, and dense, deep green foliage. Grows about 6 to 8 feet tall and about half as wide. Makes a nice summer hedge or a statement at the back of the perennial border. Attracts butterflies, not generally enjoyed by deer or rabbits.
