Product Description

This seed is packed for the 2023 growing season. If stored in a cool, dry place, seeds can keep for 2 to 3 years.

Sunflower ‘Sparky’
Helianthus annuus

This unusual novelty variety was discontinued years ago, and we’re thrilled to finally bring it back. Plants are tall, with outward-facing blooms and a vigorous branching habit ideally suited for flower arranging. Flowers have tubular quilled petals and dark chocolate centers in a mix of pale lemon yellow dusted with cocoa and raspberry—coloring similar to that of ‘Sahara’ black-eyed Susans. Plants make great screening and attract birds.

Details:
Plant type: annual
Height: 60-72”
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 60-65 days
Plant spacing: 12-18”
Pinch: when 18” tall
Approx seeds per packet: 25

How to Grow:
Sunflowers can be direct seeded into the garden or started in trays and then transplanted out after 2-3 weeks.

Harvesting/Vase Life:
Harvest as soon as the first petals on a bloom lift off the central disk, and strip ¾ of the leaves from the stem for the longest vase life. No preservative needed.

Once an order has been placed, we cannot add or subtract items. If you would like additional items not included in your original order, please place a new order. We are unable to combine separately placed orders.
