From rich reds to soft creams, sunflowers offer a vibrant spectrum that can brighten up any setting. Here’s a look at some of the fascinating colour varieties that go beyond the traditional yellow.
Red Sunflowers: Fiery Elegance
Red sunflowers, like the ‘Red Sun’ and ‘Ruby Eclipse,’ offer a dramatic twist with their deep, rich red petals and dark centres. These bold blooms create a striking contrast that can add an element of sophistication to any floral display.
Orange Sunflowers: Warm and Inviting
Orange sunflowers, such as the ‘Teddy Bear’ and ‘Sunspot,’ radiate warmth and cheerfulness. Their hues range from soft peachy oranges to vivid tangerines, providing a sunny burst of colour that is both vibrant and inviting.
Maroon and Burgundy Sunflowers: Sophisticated Charm
For a touch of elegance, maroon and burgundy sunflowers like the ‘Velvet Queen’ and ‘Burgundy Sun’ feature deep, rich tones. These colours exude a sense of luxury and add a refined, sophisticated touch to any floral arrangement.
Cream and White Sunflowers: Subtle and Classic
Cream and white sunflowers, such as the ‘Lemon Queen’ and ‘White Night,’ offer a classic and understated beauty. Their soft, pale petals create a serene and elegant look that provides a gentle contrast against darker centres.
Bi-Colour Sunflowers: Playful and Unique
