Collection: Sunflower

Helianthus, better known as Sunflower, is a genus of about 70 speciesof annuals and perennials in the daisy family (Asteraceae), native to North America, with a few species from South America.
Sunflowers have big, daisy-like flowers in bright colors often with a contrasting darker centre and large, bristly, dark green leaves. These sun-loving plants are recognized worldwide for their beauty, as well as agricultural importance.

Meaning: The genus name is derived from the Greek words “helios” (“sun”) and “anthos” (“flower”), in reference to the flower’s tendency to turn towards the sun.

Symbolism: Helianthus meanings can vary across cultures, but most commonly it means faithfulness, worship, adoration and loyalty.
