Sunflower - Gold Lite

July 29, 2026

First year planting this sunflower, and I was instantly drawn to those rounded petals and that gold, honey-toned heart — so different from the classic sunflower shape I'm used to. For some reason, it just puts a smile on my face every time I walk by, brightening my whole day, and honestly the whole garden with it. I only planted five this season, and now I'm already wishing I'd grown more — this one's a keeper, and next year it's earning a bigger spot in the bed.

As the central head fills out into a dense dome of golden disc florets blooming in tight spirals, I cannot wait to harvest the seeds for next season!
