This gorgeous flower in shades of red, salmon, white, orange, and magenta. It is related to the Sunflower family and looks quite similar to them with its densely packed petals.
Soon deadheaded dwarf sunflowers should also begin to produce additional blooms. These flowers become lovely choices for cut flower arrangements in the summertime! Some gardeners suggest pinching the top of the plant sometime after the true leaves emerge as a form of pruning.
'Strawberry Blonde' is said to be the first rose-pink sunflower, with petals brushed with lemon-yellow and a dark "eye." The plants branch nicely, so they're good for cutting, and the flowers are pollen-free, so they won't stain your skin or furnishings.. . . . .364011234376!]0000000000000009783314146182!]
