30 Red Sun Sunflower Seeds Helianthus annuus Maroon Cut Flower

Red Sun sunflower is a striking annual variety prized for its deep maroon-burgundy petals with dark centers, adding dramatic color to garden beds and bouquets. These seeds produce tall, sturdy plants that are easy to grow and make a bold statement in any sunny landscape. The rich, velvety blooms are long-lasting when cut, making them a favorite for floral arrangements and late-season color.
Red Sun sunflowers work beautifully in cut flower gardens, borders, and pollinator-friendly plantings, where their dark blooms contrast nicely with brighter companions. Plants grow vigorously through the warm season and bloom over an extended period, providing abundant stems for harvesting. Seed heads can be left to mature for wildlife interest after the blooms fade.
