Sunflower Evening Sun brings sunset-inspired color to sunny flower beds and cutting gardens. Tall, branching stems carry multiple flower heads, creating a bold display with rich scarlet tones. This packet contains 200 non-GMO, heirloom seeds for planting.

Imagine gathering several stems for an informal bouquet while leaving other flowers to brighten the garden. Evening Sun's branching habit offers more than one bloom per plant, making it useful for gardeners who enjoy both outdoor color and fresh arrangements. Flower shades, branching and bloom size vary with conditions, so each planting can have its own character.

Plants can reach approximately 80 inches tall, with flowering around 85 days under suitable conditions. Treat these figures as planning estimates rather than guarantees. Allow room for mature growth, and position plants thoughtfully so their height does not shade vegetables or smaller flowers that need full sun.

After flowering, selected seed heads may be left to mature for visiting birds. Sunflowers do not provide a complete wildlife habitat on their own, but they can add another layer of interest to a varied garden. Mature blooms should not be expected to track the sun throughout the day; sun-following behavior is associated chiefly with developing plants.

Germination Rate: 91%. Test Date: 04/26. AWSC.

Why Choose Evening Sun Sunflower?

• Sunset-inspired color: Rich scarlet-toned flowers bring dramatic warmth to garden beds and bouquets.
• Branching habit: Multiple heads can develop on a plant rather than one uniform single-stem bloom.
• Tall garden presence: Approximately 80 inch plants offer height in suitable sunny spaces.
• Cutting-garden appeal: Gather fresh stems for arrangements while enjoying flowers outdoors.
• Seasonal bird interest: Allow selected heads to mature seed where appropriate for visiting birds.
• Heirloom seed: An open-pollinated choice. Appropriate isolation is needed when saving seed to maintain variety characteristics.

Planting Tips for Success

• Timing: Sow after frost danger has passed and soil has warmed, following packet and local guidance.
• Sunlight: Choose full sun for strong growth and flowering.
• Soil: Use well-drained soil and incorporate compost as appropriate.
• Sowing: Follow packet instructions for depth and spacing. Keep the seedbed evenly moist during establishment.
• Space: Allow room for branching, airflow and access for cutting. Avoid crowded seedlings.
• Watering: Maintain moisture during establishment and adjust later watering to soil, rainfall and heat.
• Fertilizing: Follow soil-test or fertilizer-label guidance rather than excessive feeding.
• Support: Tall branching stems may need staking or other support in windy or exposed beds.
• Flowering: Approximately 85 days is a planning estimate. Weather, sowing time and care affect the actual display.
• Cutting: Use clean tools as petals begin opening, place stems promptly in clean water and remove foliage below the waterline.
• Seasonal care: Remove spent blooms where appropriate or leave selected heads for mature seed. Manage unwanted volunteer seedlings.
