‘Red Centre’ Sunflower

They have deep red centres, with varying amounts of yellow-orange edges to the petals, and it is weather-dependent: the hotter the weather the redder they are. The 6 foot plants produce one main head and a few extras suitable for cutting, but also brilliant for just admiring at the back of a border.

The colour is stunning and the seed would of course be edible if the sparrows didn’t always get there first.
