Bring glowing warmth and classic beauty to your garden with Santa Lucia Sunflowers, a radiant variety that embodies the golden charm of summer. With their rich yellow petals and deep brown centers, these sunflowers stand tall and elegant, lighting up the landscape like beams of sunlight. Named for the spirit of light and celebration, Santa Lucia offers everything you love about traditional sunflowers—with strong stems, uniform blooms, and outstanding presence in the garden or vase.
Reaching heights of 5–6 feet, Santa Lucia is ideal for the back of borders, sunflower rows, or meadow-style plantings. Its robust branching habit produces multiple blooms per plant, extending the show from midsummer into fall. Whether you're growing for pollinators, seed heads for birds, or long-lasting cut flowers, this variety delivers beauty with purpose.
These sunflowers are easy to grow from seed, tolerant of heat and dry conditions, and quick to establish in sunny, well-drained soils. Their strong stems resist toppling, even in summer storms, and their rich pollen makes them a magnet for bees and butterflies. Whether you're filling a field or tucking a few into the vegetable garden for cheerful contrast, Santa Lucia Sunflowers bring joy, color, and natural abundance to every space.
An open-pollinated variety.
