A florist-quality collection of sunflowers in a variety of colors! The Pro Cut series are single-stem sunflowers that mature quickly (65 days to maturity) and are pollenless, meaning they will not shed all over your table.
Approximate Seeds per Packet: 25
Variety/Hardiness: Annual
Sunlight: Full Sun
Mature Height: 62″ - 80"
Germination: 7-14 days at 21-24°C
Sowing:
Transplant: Sunflowers dislike root disturbance. If planting for an early crop of sunflowers, start indoors 2-3 weeks prior to planting out.
Direct Seeding (recommended): Direct seed after all threats of frost have passed, 1/2" deep.
Care: Do not pinch. This is a single-stem variety, so pinching will result in low-quality or no blooming at all. Succession-sow every 1-2 weeks for a longer harvest period.
Harvesting:
Fresh: Flowers are ready to be cut when the petals are just starting to unfurl.
Dried: Not a common dried flower.
