Sunflower Claret F1 is a robust, award-winning hybrid with deep wine-red petals surrounding a dramatic black center. Growing to around five to six feet tall with lush green foliage, the large single blooms reach up to six inches across. AGM judges loved how each bloom matures by showing subtle warm orange tones from mid-summer through early autumn. Easy, dependable, and tolerant of partial shade, this variety is also pollenless!
