Sunflower 'Velvet Queen'

Sunflower 'Velvet Queen' has 4- to 6-inch, mahogany-red flowers with near-black centers. The plants are well-branched with multiple blooms.

Sunflower 'Velvet Queen' is a good plant for the back of the border. The dark flowers recede into the distance, making the garden appear larger. It is also nice when paired with yellow sunflowers for a bold contrast.
