Pinching the plant will cause the sunflowers to grow shorter with slightly smaller flowers, but will also encourage them to produce more blooms. The great thing about this plant is that chocolate cherry sunflowers are extremely low-maintenance – water once weekly, and that’s about it!
If you’re interested in adding these gorgeous flowers to your garden, you can buy the seeds on Etsy from NewHillFarms. You can buy 30 seeds for only $2.99, and each packet contains instructions for germinating and planting. These would make such a lovely fall bouquet – I need to order up a bunch of seeds now so I can enjoy these stunning, unique flowers this season!
