Overview
A must-have for any sunflower lover, Red Sun’s vibrant, maroon petals are offset by dark centers, creating a unique statement in the summer garden.

Red Sun is a fantastic cut flower, often lasting up to 10 days in a vase. Bonus: bees, butterflies, birds and hummingbirds love this open-pollinated variety!
