Sunflower 'Astra Rose' is a unique variety with a distinctive flower form and colour. 

Semi-double flowers with slender ray florets surround a fluffy chocolate centre. The petals emerge in soft cream before transforming into apricot/pink creating a subtle, vintage palette that is perfect for that cottage garden look. A multi-branching sunflower, Helianthus annuus 'Astra Rose' produces lots of heads over a much longer season than single stem types – just keep up with the dead-heading. Place it at the back of the border for a novel sunflower surprise! Height: 120cm (47in). Spread: 60cm (24in).
