Sunflower 'SunFill Purple'

Fast-growing sunflowers produce sturdy, 3-4" geometric flower heads for use as bouquet greenery. Petals are green at the center, fading to purple. Sunflower heads produce very small and few petals, allowing for the calyx to cover the face of the bloom at harvest. Pollenless. Single stem. NOTE: Recommended for cutting only. If left, small petals (which were hidden under the calyx) and large seedhead develop, altering the look of the flower

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.
