Sunflower Vanilla Ice Helianthus debilis 100 Seeds

The ‘Vanilla Ice’ sunflower (Helianthus debilis subsp. debilis) is a charming and elegant cultivar known for its soft, creamy pale-yellow petals that contrast beautifully with dark central disks. Unlike the towering, bold appearance of traditional sunflowers, ‘Vanilla Ice’ has a more delicate, branching habit, producing multiple blooms on each plant and reaching a moderate height of about 4 to 5 feet. Native to coastal regions of the southeastern United States, Helianthus debilis is well-adapted to warm climates, thriving in full sun and sandy, well-drained soils. This cultivar is particularly attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies and works well in wildflower gardens, borders, and cut-flower arrangements due to its long-lasting blooms. ‘Vanilla Ice’ sunflowers are appreciated for their airy, cottage-garden feel and their ability to bloom over a long season, often from midsummer into fall. With minimal maintenance requirements and good drought tolerance, they are an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a light, graceful alternative to more robust sunflower varieties
