Organic Evening Colors Sunflower
Delectable diversity!
Sunflower petals are delicious in salads and we just love the vivid hues Evening Colors brings to the garden, vase and table.
Evening Colors blossoms midsummer to frost, her largest heads bobbing at the top with dozens of smaller flowers on long, strong secondaries perfect for cutting.
If you want the tallest sunflowers you've ever seen, sow Evening Colors with a shovel or three of compost! In average soil, she'll rise eight feet tall; at Fruition Seeds she averages fifteen feet tall.
