Joker Sunflower Seed Overview

Blooming 6 to 8 inches in diameter, this flower seed contains a combination of petals ranging in colors from yellow to red. The outer petals are long and thin, bright yellow from the tip to close to the base, where they abruptly turn deep red. The inner layer has a crested appearance, with very short, thin, tightly-packed, tufted petals that point straight up (instead of out) from the plant! This creates a fascinating double starburst pattern, enhanced by the glowing, fuzzy black center. These giant 6 to 8 inch blooms are semi to fully double, arising on vigorous, well-branched 6 to 7 foot plants. And they are pollen-free, making them even better as cut flowers! The plants are a good size for the back of the border, as well as next to outbuildings. They are well-branched and develop new blooms over a long season. Great as a temporary screen, too!

Sow sunflower flower seeds outside after all danger of frost is passed where the plants are to grow. Seeds can be started inside in a sterile seed starting medium at 68 - 86 degrees F. Will do well in poor soil. Stake to support plants. Gorgeous semi-double form, glowing colors, perfect for cutting, also looks wonderful in borders.
