In the past, there were only several types of sunflowers; however, recently, the varieties have extended so much- you can find pink and red sunflowers!

They’re annual plants which you can see bloom within 4 months or sometimes, it will surprise you much sooner- you may see blooms in only 2 months.
When properly taken care of, the flower can live up to 3 months. Generally speaking, they’re not a demanding flower to take care of, yet they will add so much beauty to the space where you place them.
