It is a very large plant, with a stem that can reach up to 9 ft, green serrated leaves & a large flower head with yellow petals. The sunflower takes its name from the movement due to the natural phenomenon of heliotropism, that is the inclined head of the sunflower always follows the sun from its rising throughout the course of the day until evening.
