Velvet Queen Sunflower
Velvet Queen Sunflower
Helianthus annuus
Annual, open-pollinated.
This is a smaller type sunflower with beautiful burgundy petals. Multiple flower heads per individual plant. They are perfect to add to cut flowers! They start flowering early and continue into autumn.
Days to maturity: 75-100
40 seeds per pack.
Seed starting:
I recommend direct seeding sunflowers directly in the ground after all danger of frost - sow to 1/2inch depth. Sunflowers are very hardy, and grow well in our short season climate. The bigger varieties will grow a big root system with very thick, woody stems.
We live and garden on ancestral territory of Algonquin Anishnaabeg People, forever territory of wild fauna & flora, cultivated lands of Irish and French settlers, and now beloved home of the junco seeds family (humans, chickens, dogs, sheep and cats)
