Details
This beautiful bright yellow variety has 3-6” blooms, mimicking the sunset with a darker yellow circular ring towards the center. We singled out and grew this yellow sunflower from the Evening Sun mixture in order to obtain pure seed. The 7' plants produce many flower heads over a long season, making this variety excellent for cutting! Very attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinating insects.
