Prolific and long-blooming, Red Sun is exceptionally valuable for cut flower production, dried arrangements, and ornamental landscape plantings. Blooms reach full color in approximately 110 days, and successive sowings ensure continuous color throughout the season. Staking at the 3-foot mark is recommended in windy areas to support the tall stems when laden with developing seed heads. These vibrant flowers are outstanding pollinator magnets, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects that enhance overall garden ecosystem health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(11, 106, 17);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Rate: 94%.
