Sunflower ‘Cinnabar Compact’ Open-pollinated

Want a sunflower that isn’t so tall that it flops over in a storm PLUS is within reach to cut blooms for a bouquet? Then this is the sunflower for you! Stalks average 4-6 ft with 4-5 inch central heads and smaller side heads. Petals are streaked with beautiful reddish-orange coloration.
