The name tells us the color and a little bit the shape of the flowers. Anyone who thinks that every eye of the sun offers us the same view is seriously mistaken. Many varieties are offered and each has its advantages.
Which suneye varieties are there?
Suneye offers a variety of varieties, such as 'Asahi', 'Funcky Spinner', 'Goldgrünherz', 'Goldgefeder', 'Karat', 'Loraine Sunshine', 'Prima Ballerina', 'Spitzentanzerin', 'Summer Nights' and 'Venus', which differ in size, color and flower shape. They are suitable for different garden areas and soil conditions.
‘Asahi’
This variety is also called small sun eye because its double flowers remain small and are reminiscent of pompoms.
- branches heavily, but remains narrow and stable
- blooms persistently from July to September
- ideal for borders and bordering beds
‘Funcky Spinner’
This sun eye can be described as rather small with a height of 60 cm, but it offers two-colored flowers.
- Flowers are red inside and yellow outside
- has very dark foliage
- suitable for garden and pots
‘Goldgreenheart’
If you have dry soil to offer, you don't have to miss out on floral decorations with this drought-tolerant variety.
- the flowers are densely double and golden yellow

A medium-sized, easy-care perennial that does well in both loamy and sandy soils.
- golden yellow, double flowers from July to September

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

‘Top Dancer’
The top dancer grows very bushy. Its flowers are small mini sunflowers.

- the foliage has a reddish tint
- ideal contrast effect with blue delphinium
‘Venus’
Venus grows tall and expansive and can also serve as an eye-catcher when placed alone, but requires a sunny spot and plenty of nutrients.
