Description

RED SUN Sunflower has 5 – 6″ blooms with deep, dark orange-red petals with a bit of yellow towards the center. on branching stems, 5′ – 6′ tall. This long blooming strain is great for cut flower arrangements and back borders. They will do better if planted with slow-release fertilizer. If you deadhead your branching sunflowers, they will keep pumping out new blossoms in their will to create seeds and more sunflowers. Don’t cut the stalk!
