Blossom:
The flowers are the characteristic feature of the sunflower. They are ray florets with a large, black-brown center, from which the seeds develop. The flowers are also available in double form.
Leaves:
Shaped like hearts, the leaves are large and rough in a dark marsh green.
Growth:
The stems are strong, hairy, and unbranched, with loose leaves and, depending on the variety, either one or more flowers at the end. Tall stems should be supported with stakes.
