STANDARD FleuroSun hybrids are of normal height for sunflowers, between 110 to 140cm tall, traditionally grown for cut-flowers and in gardens.
COMPACT FleuroSun hybrids are 70-90cm height and have shorter, stocky plants, with reduced spacing between leaves.
They retain excellent leaf areas and head sizes, whilst branched plants make excellent displays.
FleuroSun Compacts can be planted from seeds or seedlings, and are suitable for both cut-flowers and in gardens.
Pollen Free: The pollen-free trait is beneficial for people who suffer from pollen allergies, ensures no pollen smell, avoids pollen-staining and enhances the petal life of flowers - in the garden, in vases after harvest and for enhanced transport and storage of cut-flowers.
Flowering heads are still attractive to nectar-collecting bees, which are the majority of bees seen on sunflowers.
Planting Time: Dependent on region, but in most southern climates, sunflowers can be planted from mid-August through to late February, provided soil temperatures are above ~10C.
In sub-tropical coastal and northern climates, sunflowers can be planted in most months but avoid flowering during hot humid summer months - March to October plantings are preferred.
