The name tells us the color and a bit also the shape of the flowers. Anyone who now thinks that every eye of the sun offers us the same view is greatly mistaken. Many varieties are available and each has its merits.

Some cultivars such as Burning Hearts are red on the inside

'Asahi'

This variety is also known as the small sun's eye because its very double flowers remain small and resemble pom-poms.

  • branches strongly, but remains narrow and stable
  • blooms continuously from July to September
  • ideal for borders and bordering beds

'Funky Spinner'

With a growth height of 60 cm, this sun eye can be described as rather short in stature, but it offers two-colored flowers.

  • Flowers are red inside and yellow outside
  • has very dark foliage
  • suitable for garden and pots

'gold green heart'

If you have a dry soil to offer, you don't have to do without floral decorations with this drought-tolerant variety.

  • the flowers are densely filled and golden yellow
  • initially colored green in the middle
  • grows 120 cm high

'gold plumage'

A medium-sized, easy-care perennial that does well in both loamy and sandy soils.

  • golden yellow, double flowers from July to September
  • long petals overlap each other

,Carat'

Karat is a single-flowering variety whose flowers remain plain yellow. This makes it the typical embodiment of the sun's eye and convinces with the luminosity of the color alone.

  • blooms profusely and numerously
  • Growth height is 120-150 cm

'Loraine Sunshine'

This Loraine Sunshine variety offers us simple yellow flowers in abundance, provided that it is allowed to live in a sunny spot.

'Great Ballerina'

If you have expectations of flowers for the first year, you should reach for this semi-double variety.

  • yellow petals frame a brown flower head
  • blooms profusely into October
  • stable, compact and easy to cut

'pointe dancer'

The pointe dancer grows very bushy. Its flowers are miniature sunflowers.

  • semi-double, sun-yellow flowers
  • contrasting dark green foliage

'Summer Night'

Summer Nights is a strain that produces single buds but makes up for that simplicity with other benefits.

  • Flowers have an orange-red center and yellow petals
  • the foliage has a reddish tinge
  • ideal contrast effect with blue delphinium

,Venus'

The Venus grows tall and sprawling and can also serve as an eye-catcher in a solitary position, but requires a sunny spot and plenty of nutrients.

  • sun-yellow flowers, the center of which is colored brown
  • with multiple rows of petals
  • reach up to 10 cm in diameter
