The 'Shock-o-Lat' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Shock-o-Lat') is a unique and visually striking sunflower variety. It stands out with its dark, chocolate-colored petals, offering a rich and unusual color palette compared to traditional sunflowers. This sunflower variety adds a touch of sophistication to gardens and floral arrangements.
Sunflower seeds do best when planted directly into the garden after the last frost date has passed. Plant seeds 6 inches apart and 1 inch deep in a shallow trench.
Sunflowers are one of the easiest flowers to grow from seed. Sunflowers grow wonderfully along a border and are a good option to grow with children.
