Sunflower - Red Wave (Helianthus annus) Compact Red Sunflowers Bouquet Cutting Flower
Annual
Height 3 to 4 ft
Red Wave sunflowers add drama to any garden, border or container. This variety produces slender, strong, and branching stems hold multiple ruffled, velvety red flowers with dark brown centres. Compared to other sunflower varieties, these plants are compact and more colourful, and the flowers are a bit smaller. Use as a contrasting flower at the front of borders or dot it along a walkway.
Great for containers and accents. Red Wave sunflowers branch early and often and the pollen-free flowers are outstanding additions to cut flower bouquets.
