The Kitchen Windowsill Sunflower!
So compact you can grow it in pots marching up the front steps, or even in windowboxes!
Scarcely a foot high, this thrilling new Sunflower sports enormous lemon-yellow blooms on well-branched plants just right for flowerpots, window boxes, and the FRONT of the annual bed! Ultra-dwarf and packed with flower power, it is our old favorite "fourth sister" (from the Native American Three Sisters companion plants) in a lovely new close-up form! 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.
