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.
