About Shock-O-Lat

This sunflower variety produces striking yellow-tipped, bronze-red petals on contrasting purple-tinged, well-branched stems, offering a multitude of pollenless blooms. Its flowers, which naturally reach about 6 inches, are perfect for cutting and arrangements. Beyond their beauty, the young flower buds are edible, possessing an artichoke-like flavor when grilled or sautéed, and the bittersweet petals add a pop of color to salads and desserts.
