Sunflower 'Choco Sun'
Choco Sun has taken Europe by storm, and now it's time to conquer America!
You can even grow Choco Sun on the kitchen windowsill, so compact is it! Just 10 to 12 inches high and slightly wider, it sets a very large bloom on the central stalk, accompanied by numerous smaller ones on the side-shoots. The foliage is a handsome rich, dark green so intense it looks black from a distance. The plant branches young and sets numerous buds on its side shoots, giving you more blooms than you might think possible.
To say that Choco Sun has created a sensation in Europe is to put it mildly. This is a plant that seemed to grace every doorstep this summer, each one more beautiful than the one before it. Dust off your finest flowerpots, clear out the windowboxes, and prepare a wide swathe in the annual bed -- Choco Sun is adorable, addictive, and absolutely essential for your summer garden, indoors or out! Pkt is 25 seeds.
