| Grew very well direct sown, reaching height of 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 feet. Multiple blooms on each stem. Makes a great cut flower due to long stem length and size of bloom. Beautiful coloration. This would make a great addition to any garden. |

| These sunflowers are a beautiful display of fall colors. With a dark center spreading out to red and then bright yellow at the tips, these sunflowers make a beautiful arrangement on their own or added to a bouquet. More than one flower on each stem, and long stems make them ideal for cutting. |
