This plant is used for covering walls, fences and less-aesthetic building walls. It harmonises splendidly with mallows, larkspurs, other annuals and many ornamental shrubs. It can also be grown for cut flower, that maintains its freshness in vases for a long time. Inflorescences, that wilter in autumn, and developing seeds constitute bird fodder. Sunflower blooms have also found its use in herbal medicine, as fever-reducing, digestion-improving medicine. In form of compresses they milden swells and bruises. Sunflower belongs to the most valuable melliferous plants, too.
