Sunflower 'Red Sun'

[Lord Steve]

This is my first year of sowing sunflowers. I decided to choose something a bit different and went for the dark red of 'Red Sun'. Grows to about 5-6' tall, so not a huge variety (small garden!). Not all of the seedlings have come out in the same deep red though - the others are yellower with tinges of red.

Anyway, here is my first flowering red sunflower!



Hope this is the right board to post this pic on!!

Steve - gorgeous colour!  Well done.  I'm also new to sunflowers this year, and have some red/bronze coloured ones growing - Fire Walker and Velvet Queen.  They are still small as I planted late so shall have to wait to see what they turn out like.  If there anything like yours, I'll be very pleased.

Thanks for posting that LS, been able to show L2S what her Sunflower 'Red Sun' might look like when it flowers  . I usually grow the Dwarf Sunflower 'Big Smile' this is my first attempt  at big ones

Gorgeous colour, so rich and hot!  Number one daughter is growing some red sunflowers in her growbag garden and they have done better than my giant ones on the allotment!
