Red Sunflower Seeds - Flower Plant

Red sunflower seeds produce warm-season annual plants with a tall, upright growth habit and sturdy stems. These plants develop large, daisy-like blooms in deep red shades and are well adapted to warm, sunny climates. Red sunflowers perform best in full sunlight with well-drained, fertile soil and moderate watering. Suitable for garden beds, borders, cut flower production, and open fields, they establish quickly and provide bold seasonal color.
