Sunflower Starburst Greenburst - West Coast Seeds

Helianthus annuus

• Yellow petals with a green center
• Unique look
• Branching plants
• Pollenless

A truly unique sunflower of semi-double golden yellow petals surrounding a pollenless green center. Starburst Greenburst's 10-15cm (4-6”) flowers bloom early on 120-159cm (4-6’) branching plants. They are eye-catching as the focal point of a bouquet or bunched on their own. High resistance to Downy mildew.

Approx. 25 seeds

Timing: Direct sow repeatedly after the last frost date. Starting indoors is possible, but does not gain much time. If sunflowers are allowed to get root-bound, they will lack stability at transplant time, and will require staking. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 21-30°C (70-85°F). Seeds should sprout in 10-14 days.

Starting: Sow seeds 5mm-1cm  (¼-½”) deep. Space dwarf varieties 15cm (6″) apart, but give the giants lots of room at 1m (3′) between plants.
