Description
Sunflower- Solar Flash F1
Helianthus annuus
- Annual to 50cm
- Bi-coloured flowers
- Suited to containers
An annual growing to 50cm. This dwarf variety has bi-coloured pollen free flowers, deep red in the centre with rich yellow tips. The robust plants have multiple stems and flowers per plant, with a large central flower surrounded by smaller blooms on the side branches. Suited to growing in containers, to edge borders or to companion plant in the vegetable patch.
Pollen-free flowers are suited to people with pollen allergies and when used as cut flowers there's no pollen staining; the flowers still produce nectar and are attractive to nectar-collecting bees. Seeds of this variety will not grow true to type if saved and resown.
