Ruby Eclipse Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are a stunning variety known for their deep, rich red petals that encircle a dark center, creating a dramatic contrast against their vibrant green foliage. These sunflowers grow tall and robust, typically reaching up to 6 feet, making them a bold statement in any garden or landscape. Their unique coloration makes them a favorite for those looking to add a touch of elegance and exotic beauty to their outdoor spaces.


As cut flowers, Ruby Eclipse Sunflowers are exceptional, lasting up to two weeks in a vase and adding a dramatic flair to floral arrangements with their deep hues. In the garden, they serve a dual purpose by attracting a variety of beneficial pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds. This not only aids in pollination but also supports local ecosystems, making these sunflowers a practical choice for both ornamental and ecological gardens.
