Large bicolour blooms the colour of a desert sun in reds, golds, and yellows. Large 12.5-18cm (5-7) pollenless blooms have strong, straight stems, creating sturdy, dramatic bouquets. Desert Sun’s vigorous, branching plants are 175-200cm (5.5-6.5) tall.
Approx. 25 seeds
Timing: Direct sow repeatedly after the last frost date. Starting indoors is possible, but does not gain much time. If sunflowers are allowed to get root-bound, they will lack stability at transplant time, and will require staking. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 21-30C (70-85F). Seeds should sprout in 10-14 days.
Starting: Sow seeds 5mm-1cm (-) deep. Space dwarf varieties 15cm (6) apart, but give the giants lots of room at 1m (3) between plants.
