This plant is pretty easygoing regarding its soil, but it's still best to avoid planting sunflowers in heavy clay soils. These soils tend to hold onto moisture quite a bit, which can, unfortunately, lead to root rot.

Swamp sunflower is a perennial that can grow up to 8 feet tall or more with proper care. Its daisy-like flowers are also very showy. It thrives in acidic soil and can be grown in full sun or partial shade. Because it is so tall and beautiful, it is usually used as a houseplant or border plant in the backyard. The flowers of this species also tend to bloom in the fall and summer.
