About this plant

Luna Roja is a compact false sunflower that flourishes in full to part sun and well-drained soil in USDA zones 3-9. This dwarf variety produces fiery shades of burnt orange flowers from midsummer through fall above striking bronze-tinted foliage. Gorham gardeners appreciate its manageable size and dramatic dark foliage that provides continuous color even when not in bloom. Heat and drought tolerant once established, it attracts pollinators while resisting deer browsing.
