The reason that the red sunflower is so special is that that it does not occur in the wild. The red sunflower is a result of breeding flowers so that they will gain unique and dramatic ornamental qualities. Dwarf red sunflowers are also available that grow in a bush-type planting and are only 20 - 24 inches high. As an atypical planting, the red sunflower is generally a seed that your local garden supply can order for you, or you can search online and purchase red sunflower seeds from many reputable online seed companies. Here is a great link I found that shows on one page a bunch of different varieties available. Any of these would present some fun and challenge to gardeners who like their plantings to be unique conversation-starters.
