    This showy sunflower is an attention getter. Dazzling flame type sunflower offers a sensuous color contrast. The dark disk is orbited by ray petals in scarlet red flame, finishing to gold at their tapered tips. Five to 6 ft. tall, it has a branching stem with multiple buds. The flower averages 6" wide.
