Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sunflowers are such happy guys - this new variety seems especially so. And since it’s multi-branching, you’ll get lots of these fabulous, extremely showy, bi-colored, 6-8” across, double to semi-double flowers for cutting. The central disc is surrounded by fascinating little curly petals. The whole plant should top 5’ tall. Sunflowers love sun and rich soil. Good for us and the birdies, too!
