The sunflowers have a striking appearance with leaves and stems displaying shades of dark red to purple. The plants are dwarfish, branching out vigorously with dark green foliage. The flowers possess ray petals coloured in merlot transitioning to a lovely pink shade.
In The Records
The sunflower has its roots in North America and was initially cultivated as a crop by indigenous tribes around 4,500 years ago. These tribes refined the sunflower from its original bushy, multi-headed variety to a single-stemmed plant that bore a large flower.
