SUNFLOWER ITALIAN WHITE
Italian White Sunflowers demand attention with brilliantly white, star-burst petals that fade to lemon-lime towards the center, which is the blackest of blacks. A must-have for a structural, minimalist garden.
While we do not begrudge the cheerful and iconic yellow-petaled varieties, classics for a reason, we are loving the many different shades of these unexpected Sunflowers.
