The bright, large flower heads of sunflowers (Helianthus annuus and cultivars) present a nectar and pollen mother lode for their pollinators, which are bees of all kinds. Each flower head's central disc contains many smaller tubular disc flowers, each with its own supply of nectar and pollen.

Where is the nectar in sunflowers?

Sunflowers also produce extra-floral nectar (EFN) from glands on the undersides of their leaves.

Do sunflowers have pollen and nectar?

Native sunflowers are found in all 48 lower states. All wild types produce pollen, as well as nectar and seeds, and are great favorites among pollinating insects, as well as birds and mammals. According to the National Sunflower Association, indigenous peoples may have domesticated the plant even before corn.
