Sunflower Solar Flash – Seed

Helianthus annuus – sunflower ‘Solar Flash’

DESCRIPTION: Compact pollen-free fast-growing sunflower with large duo-toned chestnut-yellow flowers. Stems produce many flower heads. Ideal for smaller gardens and pots.
PLANTING: Spring to early Summer or in warmer climates, year round. Sow two seeds together directly into garden beds or seed raising mix, apply a generous layer of soil, gently pat down and keep moist. When seedlings are 5cm, thin and keep the most vigorous seedling and transplant to a full sun location in free draining soil.
CARE: Water seedlings regularly until established and during dry periods. Tip prune at the second plant node to encourage dense growth and more flowering. Remove spent flowers to encourage a longer flowering season. Add a slow release fertiliser on planting and follow up with liquid fertiliser applied weekly for best results. Plants may become top heavy when in full flower, use a stake to support the stem.

Contains 25 seeds.
