I picked up this plant at a grocery store in July and planted it! It has more than tripled in size and it was beautiful! What is it? Is it an annual or perennial?

Dakota County Minnesota

Expert Response

This appears to be a sunflower from the family Asteraceae.  While a few varieties are hardy in Minnesota, most are not.  They often reseed, however, so you may find new sprouts in the spring.
