Plum sunflower seeds
This hybrid variety of sunflowers boasts bright buff-colored petals with bright plum accent marks towards the center. This variety is easy to grow and is ideal for fresh-cut floral arrangements. Each flower will stand a noble 4 - 6 feet tall. This is a single-stem variety, so you will have one large bloom, versus a multiple-stem variety with several smaller blooms. Each bloom will measure 7.5 - 8 inches across. The large blooms make these optimal for attracting beneficial insects, birds, butterflies, bees, etc.
