A great sunflower!
by Alex
Love the colors on this sunflower. Had a profusion of blooms on many branches. Pollinators love them in the summer and birds in the winter! Will definitely be growing again! Zone 5A Iowa

Pretty Sunflower - Velvet Queen

We love this (and many other) variety of sunflower. Easy to grow, looks beautiful, especially in contrast to the usual yellow colors we have in the other sunflowers we grew.
