Grow RED sunflowers

This is a photo of the Cherry Rose sunflower (taken 14 April)

It has now lost its petals and is forming seeds… :) Yay!

Okay, we’re digging through the Territorial Seed Company’s catalog for our garden seed order this spring, and they have a few wonderfully RED sunflowers.

There are the 2 foot tall Double Dandy’s FL3292; multibranching with 4” flowers; fine for pots or near walkways.

I’m the most intrigued with the Infrared Mix; FL3289; these grow to six feet tall, and I have a place for tall sunflowers this year! These have dark seeds.

Then, o then, there are the brilliant RED FL3282 Prado Red, an early sunflower, branching for lots of flowers per plant.

There’s also the Red Sun which is more bronze-maroon with yellow tips; Floristan which is really red-brown petals around a dark face; and the Ring of Fire that are about half and half red-base and yellow-tipped petals.

What are YOU going to grow?

the seeds yesterday :)

_{Only planted half of the seeds so if they don’t mature I can try again next spring :)}

but I guess putting them in some potting mix would help!

_{SIGH… still haven’t got around to planting them yet}

the Crimson Queen (red) sunflower seed… also some Cherry Rose (pink) sunflower seed…

I also added to the order angelica, sacred basil, elecampane and fennel...
