Pollen-containing sunflowers: usually simple, less expensive varieties. For example, Floristan, Holiday, and many others.
Pollen-free sunflowers: F1 hybrids with more uniform growth and flowering. For example, the Sunrich, ProCut, or Solano series.
DMR (Downy Mildew Resistant) sunflowers: resistant to downy mildew. For example, Sunrich Orange DMR, ProCut Gold Lite DMR, ProCut Orange, and ProCut Bicolor.
The flowers follow the sun as they grow (heliotropism), which explains the name “sunflower”.
Cut the stems diagonally, remove the leaves below the water level, place them in clean water, and use flower food. Change the water every two days and cut the stems diagonally again for a longer shelf life. Add a drop of bleach to the water.
Sow directly outdoors after the last frost in spring, when the soil is at least 10–12 °C.
Indoor sowing and transplanting is not recommended because the sunflower develops a taproot that is easily damaged if you wait too long to transplant.
Yes, but preferably choose non-pollen-free varieties for bees, because pollen-free varieties produce less food for pollinators.
