This handsome 6' tall sunflower features unusual plum-colored flower petals, making it a standout addition to any summer garden. Sitting atop sturdy stems, this pollen-free, 5-7” wide sunflower has a bit of white at the tips, a yellow collar and dark brown centers. Plants mature in 50 days. This sunflower is perfect when used as a vertical element, be it free-standing or against a wall or fence. Stems do not need staking. Excellent as a cut flower. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. And for those wishing to settle a bet, while young sunflowers do turn to follow the sun, mature plants remain fixed.
