    Customer photo review of Sunflower Seeds - Red Sun

    Started growing in early spring and bloomed before summer. Unfortunately we had bad storms and only one left. Hopefully had self seeded.

    Customer photo review of Sunflower Seeds - Red Sun

    I purchased these, and believe I received the wrong sunflowers - my guess is I got the "Skyscraper" variety when I wanted "Red Sun." I little sad about that. Still, they're super fun though! Profuse blooms and taller than my gutters!

    Wow, these sunflowers came out super beautiful and a deep dark red. I plan on planting these year after year! Be sure to disbud the side buds so you can have beautiful long stems for arrangements.

    I reordered these seeds for next summer. I loved these in my garden. The bees and hummingbirds also love them. They have bloomed all summer long. They have sturdy stems but they do take up a lot of space. It is October and some are still in bloom. They are easy to grow, I just threw seeds in my gardens , no pampering needed.
