Sunflower, Taiyo

Annual, to 6-7 feet. An old Japanese variety, non-branching and grown for cut-flower use. Equally attractive in arrangements or in mass plantings in the garden. The tall, non-branching plants produce a single large flower in tones of yellow to orange, chocolate and sable. Florists adore the 8- to 10-inch flowers!
