Title: Sunflower 'Red Sun'
Post by: Lord Steve on July 10, 2005, 13:44:21: 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!!

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. :)
