Exciting addition to the ProCut series.
Creamy pale yellow (almost white) petals on a dark center. Combines well with soft or vivid colors and is every bit as early and reliable as the other well-known ProCut colors. Single-stem plants have tall, strong stems and 4–6", pollenless blooms. NOTE: Light-colored petals are more susceptible to damage by insect feeding. To avoid insect damage, we encourage harvesting blooms just as they begin to open and storing until they open to the desired appearance. Pollenless. Single stem. Ht. 60–72".
LATIN NAME: Helianthus annuus
DAYS TO MATURITY: 50 - 60 Days
LIFE CYCLE: Annual
HYBRID STATUS: Hybrid (F1)
DAYS TO GERMINATION: 7-14 days
LIGHT PREFERENCE: Sun
PLANT HEIGHT: Varies
PLANT SPACING: 4-6"
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.
HARVEST:
Flowers can be harvested tight, when color first shows, or when almost completely open, depending on your market and preferred use. Dried - Flowers are completely open. Hang or use silica gel.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Light, well-drained soil. Excessive nitrogen may cause plants to grow too vigorously with abnormal flower shapes.
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.
USES:
Excellent cut flower or for gardens.
