One of the darkest of all sunflowers. From midsummer to fall this unique variety produces armloads of uniquely coloured flowers that average 6in (15cm) across in shades of burgundy, mahogany, chestnut red and bronze with an even darker centre. Use in the back of borders, as a temporary hedge, for colour in vegetable gardens and for cut flowers.
