Helianthus annuus Moulin Rouge

Helianthus annuus Moulin Rouge is a special sunflower that immediately stands out due to its unique, deep reddish-brown flowers. While most sunflowers are known for their yellow or orange hues, Moulin Rouge brings a completely different atmosphere to the garden. The velvety petals have an intense rust-brown-red color that is present almost uniformly across the entire flower. The dark, almost black center forms a beautiful contrast and enhances the exclusive appearance of this special sunflower.

This branching sunflower reaches a height of approximately 180 cm and produces an abundance of flowers throughout the summer. Because the plant branches low down, many long flower stalks develop, making it perfectly suitable as cut flowers. This makes Moulin Rouge an absolute favorite for cutting gardens, florists, and lovers of striking bouquets. The flowers retain their color and appearance excellently in the vase and provide a warm and stylish accent in the home.

An additional advantage of this variety is that it is pollen-free. This makes the flowers particularly suitable for indoor use, as no pollen ends up on furniture or clothing. Despite its unusual color, Moulin Rouge remains attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinators, making it a valuable contribution to a biodiverse garden.

Caring for this sunflower is simple. In a sunny location and in nutritious, well-drained soil, it grows into a strong and profusely flowering plant. Thanks to its long flowering period, impressive height, and distinctive color, Helianthus annuus Moulin Rouge is a real eye-catcher in borders, cutting gardens, and natural plantings.

With its unique reddish-brown flowers, long stems, and excellent suitability as a cut flower, Moulin Rouge is one of the most special sunflowers available.
