Sunflower Procut Bicolor

This reliable single-stemmed variety is pollenless and bred for commercial cut flower production. The 4-6” pollenless beautiful blooms are yellow fading to rich chocolate/red with dark centers.

This seed is day length neutral which means it performs well in the fall!

SOWING:
Direct seed (recommended) - After last frost, sow 1/2" deep.

Transplant -
Sow into 72 to 50-cell flats 2-3 weeks prior to planting out. Plants dislike root disturbance, but sowing indoors and then transplanting the first crop outdoors can be a successful way to get first-early sunflowers. Do not pinch plants. Pinched single-stem sunflowers will produce low-quality blooms or no blooms at all. Succession-sow every 1-2 weeks and/or plant multiple varieties with varied days to maturity for continuous harvest.

NOTES:
Flower size and stem diameter are controlled by plant spacing, temperature, soil type, and day length. For early and late season production, select varieties that are day-length neutral or are noted as suitable for flowering under short days.
