Firecracker Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are vibrant, annual flowers known for their striking red and yellow petals. These sunflowers are compact, reaching about 2 to 3 feet tall, making them perfect for borders or containers. Their bold colors and easy growth make them a standout in any garden.


As cut flowers, Firecracker Sunflowers last well in vases, bringing bright, cheerful colors indoors. They are also excellent pollinator attractants, drawing bees, butterflies, and birds, which not only beautify your garden but also support local ecosystems by promoting pollination.

ADDITIONAL SOWING INFORMATION

GROWERS TIP
