Velvet Queen Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) captivate with their rich, velvety petals in deep crimson to burgundy, often kissed with hints of orange or gold near the dark chocolate-brown center. These striking blooms, spanning 5-8 inches, rise on sturdy, branching stems, perfect for vibrant borders or elegant cut flower arrangements. A magnet for pollinators like bees and butterflies, they also attract birds with their seed-filled heads, adding ecological charm to any garden.

ADDITIONAL SOWING INFORMATION

GROWERS TIP

Sunflowers develop long taproots, so it is best to use a loose sowing medium. They also do not transplant well, so if you decide to start some of your sunflowers indoors, we recommend using biodegradable CowPots. Direct sow in early spring when temperatures are at least 65°F.
