The Evening Sun sunflower is a showstopper. These gorgeous blooms feature a mix of sunset colors—deep yellows, rusty oranges, and scarlet reds—and a dark center. The unique blend of colors makes them well suited for your next harvest decor line-up, cut and stacked in vases.
Each 6- to 8-inch stem is branched and produces multiple blooms, making these sunflowers the perfect backdrop for your garden. And the flowers attract a mix of birds, butterflies, and loads of beneficial insects, so they're a great companion for vegetable gardens, too.
Sunflowers grow best in warm weather with plenty of water and ample sunshine. They aren't called sunflowers for nothing! And stagger planting in the spring, adding seeds every week, ensures you'll continuously have gorgeous blooms throughout the summer.
Plants can be started indoors and planted outdoors after the risk of frost has passed. If you plan to start your seeds indoors, be sure to check out our Bio Dome Seed Starter Kit. With the Bio Dome, you can control the temperature, light, and soil mix to ensure your seeds become strong for transplant.
Expect these sunflowers to germinate in 10 to 14 days. Days to Maturity: 75 from direct sow
It's going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! "Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money." The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.
