Velvet Queen Sunflowers feature red-orange petals, surrounded by a dark brown center that creates a unique, eye-catching contrast. These sunflowers are medium-sized, perfect for borders or adding a pop of color in garden beds. They are drought-tolerant and prefer full sun, making them low-maintenance yet stunning.
