Chocolate Cherry is a striking open-pollinated sunflower with deep burgundy petals surrounding rich chocolate-brown centers. Plants grow 6 to 7 feet tall on sturdy, branching stems and produce elegant 5- to 8-inch blooms from mid to late summer. Its dark coloring makes a beautiful contrast with yellow and gold flowers, and it works especially well as a tall border along fences or at the back of prairie-style plantings. The blooms are also excellent for cutting, with a vase life of about a week when harvested just before they fully open. If the mature seed heads are left in the garden, they provide a welcome food source for goldfinches, nuthatches, woodpeckers, and other seed-eating birds. Blooms mid to late summer. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds. Show more
