Sunflower 'Gypsy Charmer'

Gypsy Charmer explodes with vivid colors in the garden. Three vibrant colors, lemon, red, and yellow, are fused into pollenless flowers born on branching plants. Gypsy Charmer flowers early, and pushes out a continuous stream of branches with pollenless flowers over many weeks. It’s great for small mixed bouquets or simply as a colorful accent in your garden. This variety will be a mainstay in your plantings every year!

How To Grow:
Direct seed (recommended) - After last frost, sow 1/2" deep. Indoors - Sow 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. Succession-sow every 1-2 weeks and/or plant multiple varieties with varied days to maturity for continuous harvest.

Harvesting/Vase Life:
Harvest as soon as the first petals on a bloom are starting to unfurl and strip ¾ of the leaves from the stem for the longest vase life. No preservative needed.
