Gorgeous 4"–6" sunset-hued flowers with dark centers bloom in abundance over a long bloom period to keep your garden alight with color and pollinators, and your flower vases full for many weeks. Several rich tones all on one plant! Sunflowers are edible, with a bittersweet flavor. The petals add a pretty pop of color ion salads and desserts. The young, sunflower buds are edible, with a flavor similar to artichoke hearts. They can be grilled, marinated, or sauteed for an unusual appetizer or side dish. Multi-branching habit makes for an excellent annual screen. Sunflowers are one of the easiest flowering plants to grow and drought tolerant.

Easy to sow and sprout. Did great in my very hot and humid climate. Lots of pollinators and beautiful cut flower! Will grow again.

These were big, maroon beauties. They were a showstopper and people talked about them every time they came over. Different types of native bees and wasps liked them. We will definitely grow these again. If you love sunflowers, these are a great addition to your garden.

I have to start these inside so the squirrels and chipmunks don't eat the seeds. They transplanted very well in biodegradable pots. The flower color is lovely.

first time for this variety

I was a bit disappointed in only getting 12 seeds, and only 5 germinated. BUT this is the most beautiful plant. Many, many flowers and many different colors. I stopped counting on one plant when it reached 18 flowers. And the birds love them. They eat them right on the plant as the older blooms dry while the new blooms are still coming on. Lots of birds. I will buy them again for next season.
