Product Details
Helianthus F1 'Sunrich Orange' Seeds
Helianthus 'Sunrich Orange' are premium, tall, very uniform annual Sunflowers. Each plant has one long stem topped by a lovely large Orange Sunflower with a dark central disk. They are easy to grow, brilliant for cut flower production and excellent in the garden too.
Sunrich Orange Sunflowers are daylength neutral so they produce consistent quality flowers. For your cut flower patch sow indoors March-April then plant out in May. Sow again when the soil has warmed up outdoors (from May onwards) for a later crop. For cut flower production sow a batch of seeds every two weeks.

| Picking | For cut flowers pick Sunflowers when the first few petals have unfurled. It's best to pick when it's cool, early in the morning or evening, strip most of the leaves from the stem and stand them in deep water for a few hours. Sunflowers have a long vase life, no preservative necessary. |
| Planting Combinations | Sunflowers are some of the most stunning annual flowers you can grow and Sunrich Orange is one of the most popular because of their performance. These flowers will amaze you with their beauty, speed of growth and long vase life. |
