Sunflower- Velvet Queen
Helianthus annuus
Velvet Queen is one of the darkest of all Sunflowers. Deep velvety coppery-bronze blooms with an even darker core, make velvet queen a beautiful border plant. Many spreading stems with multiple flowers makes this sunflower perfect for cut flowers. It's worthy of a spot in any yard or garden, and is favorite in our school gardens.
