Sunflower Velvet Queen
Sunflower Velvet Queen boast a mesmerizing deep red hue that emanates from their dark central disk, gradually fading to orange-tipped petals. These sunflowers reach an impressive height of up to 60 Inches, showcasing blooms with a remarkable diameter of 10 inches. Thriving in sunlight and displaying drought tolerance, they become a haven for birds, attracting them with a bountiful supply of food. Additionally, these sunflowers serve as excellent cut flowers. To ensure optimal growth, it’s advisable to plant them in the spring, once the risk of frost has subsided. For those seeking alternative varieties, ‘Autumn Beauty’ and ‘Lemon Queen’ stand tall, while the shorter ‘Sunspot’ sunflower reaches a modest height of 48 to 60 Inches.
