The Sunrich series have been bred specifically for cut flower production. Flowers are upwards facing and the stems are robust. Sunrich Lemon was one of the first sunflower varieties that Cel grew on her flower farm, and it has remained a favourite for over a decade!

Sow under cover 3-4 weeks before your last frost date; sow outside or plant out after risk of frost has passed. Sow in succession until June for a continuous harvest. Sowing temp 18-21°C; germination between 7-14 days in optimum conditions. Do not pinch! 

Cut sunflowers as the first couple of petals begin to lift off of the flower bud. Sunflowers cut fully open are easily damaged in transit, and pollination reduces vase life. Place immediately into water; no special conditioning requirements.

Vase life: 7-10 days
