Arikara
Collected by Melvin Gilmore from the Arikara tribe at the Fort Berthold Reservation and first offered by Oscar H. Will in 1930. Sturdy plants grow up to 12 feet tall with single to multi-headed flowers. Some single heads reach 12–16" across. Traditionally grown for its large harvest of edible seeds.
Chocolate Sunflower
Flowers measure 4–6" across with rich brown petals on top and lovely striped yellow on the undersides. Great in bouquets and garden borders. Stem length is 10–24". Pollen-bearing and an excellent source of forage for bees.
Reds
Deep reds throughout, with some petals showing a lighter red and yellow glowing from beneath. Multi-branching plants reach approximately 5–6 feet and produce an abundance of blooms with excellent cutting stem length. A strong performer for late-summer arrangements.
Teddy Bear
Fully double, 4–6" golden-yellow blooms on compact dwarf plants growing just 18–24" tall. Great for cut flowers and an excellent front-of-border plant alongside taller varieties. A reliable favorite with children.
Velvet Queen
Striking 4" flower heads with deep mahogany-red petals and an almost black center. Well-branched and free-flowering with strong stems, making it an ideal choice for borders or cut flowers. Plants grow 5–7 feet tall.
Florenza
Multi-branching plants standing 32–48" tall with very sturdy stems. The blooms are exquisite — dark cocoa centers surrounded by mahogany petals tipped in bright yellow. An excellent choice for the cutting garden, and a strong attractor of bees.
Transylvania Giants
Growing to approximately 15 feet tall with bright yellow flowers up to 18" across. A dramatic statement plant that will tower over the rest of the garden. Best planted where it has room to reach its full height.
