Ring of Fire

Ring of Fire is an award-winning branching sunflower named for its dramatic bicolor bloom, with petals that are deep red at the base flaring to bright golden-yellow at the tips, encircling a dark central disc. An All-America Selections winner, it grows four to six feet tall and branches to produce many four- to five-inch flowers over a long season. It is pollen-free on the main flowers in some strains and is highly valued as a cut flower for its vivid, fiery coloring and clean stems. This variety is a strong pollinator plant and a reliable performer in full sun, making it a favorite for cutting gardens and permaculture borders where a bold splash of warm color is wanted.
