The Sunrich series of sunflowers have been bred specifically for cut flower production. The Sunrich Summer varieties bloom approx 10 days earlier than the traditional Sunrich series. Sunrich Summer Limoncello has semi-double lemon blooms with dark centres.

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
