Helianthus annuus. Annual. Open Pollinated. The plant produces a stunning display of radiantly 8" flowers in deep yellow, gold, brick red, orange, and burgundy. This is an edible flower in which flower buds can be fried and the petals are used as a garnish in salads and desserts. The flavor is bittersweet. An excellent choice for cut flowers. Great food source for small birds. Enjoy the beauty of fall colors throughout the summer. Flowers bloom over a long period. Excellent choice for home gardens. A variety from the USA.

Water well during dry and hot spells.
