Chocolate Cherry Sunflower is a branching sunflower variety that produces rich, dark, beautiful blooms with tones of burgundy and chocolate. Plants grow to 6-7′ tall and bloom for 4 weeks — a great border plant for a vegetable garden.

Yes, we love these desert beauties, but now we're ready for bright flowers, too.

Plant in full sun in good garden soil when weather is warm and settled both day and night and all danger of frost is past. Poke seeds into well-worked soil 1/2 inch deep and 4 to 5 inches apart. Press soil firmly over seeds and keep moist until germination in 8 to 10 days.

Once thoroughly dry, rub the seed head with your hand to remove the seeds; the seeds should fall off easily, if not, let the head dry longer. Place the seeds in a sealed jar or plastic bag and store in a cool, dark location until you're ready to use them.. . . . .364011233577!]0000000000000009783314145614!]
