Decorative sunflower Krasen' — this bright and low-maintenance annual will become a true decoration of your garden. Its intensely colored burgundy petals distinguish this variety from others, giving the flowerbed rich autumn hues. The plant reaches a height of up to 2 meters, and the diameter of the flower heads ranges from 20 to 30 cm. Flowering begins in mid-August and continues until the first frosts, allowing you to enjoy its beauty for a long time.
This decorative sunflower is widely used to decorate various elements of the garden: unattractive building walls, fences, and compost piles. It looks striking as a living hedge and is perfect for creating flower compositions in mixed borders and boxwood beds when combined with asters, delphiniums, chrysanthemums, and other tall plants. Krasen' can also be planted in groups on lawns, adding vibrant accents to the area.
Growing Krasen' sunflower does not require special effort. Sowing is recommended to be carried out in several stages with an interval of 7-14 days from May to July to ensure continuous flowering. Seeds are pre-germinated in a mesh and planted in holes up to 3 cm deep, maintaining a distance of 50-70 cm between plants and up to 80 cm between rows. The plant prefers sunny, wind-protected areas with loose, neutral soil. Maintenance involves regular watering once a week, loosening and weeding every two weeks, and optional application of mineral and organic fertilizers. Krasen' retains freshness in cuttings for up to two weeks, making it an excellent choice for decorative bouquets.
