ProCut White Lite, Sunflower Seed

25 seed packet
 
Creamy, nearly white petals surround a honey-coloured central disc atop a stem that can reach 2m (6') tall. ProCut White Lite is a pollenless hybrid sunflower for the professional florist trade. As a cut flower it leaves no mess, but it still bears nectar that will attract and feed bees and other pollinators from far and wide. Harvest the blooms just as they begin to open for the longest vase life, or enjoy them in the field where they look incredible in mass plantings. The day-length neutral flowers grow up to 15cm (6") wide on single stems.
 
Occasionally, this variety will branch, depending on temperature stress. When grown in cool temperatures, it has a slight nutty honey scent.
 
ProCut series only take 55 - 60 days to bloom from seed.
 
Annual
 
Sow seeds 5mm-1cm  (¼-½”) deep. 
 
Companion Planting
Sunflowers planted near rows of corn are said to increase yields. Sunflowers can be used to draw heavy metals, toxins, and even radiation from soil, but should be burned at the end of the season if grown for this purpose. Plant sunflowers amid squash plantings to improve pollination and overall production.
