An old favorite that combines the big bloom size
of Giant Sunflowers with the well-branched, floriferous habit of smaller
daisy-formed varieties, 'Italian White' is an elegant look for the garden or
vase! The blooms are 4 inches across, with a deep chocolate eye, slightly
ruffled white petals, and a ring of primrose between the two. These very
sturdy, well-branched 5- to 7-foot plants produce an incredible number of
blooms over a very long season, giving you enough to fill every vase in the
house without robbing the garden of fresh, gleaming color. The long stems make
these great flowers for cutting, and they are exceptionally tolerant of dry
soils.
The plants are a good size for the back of the
border, as well as next to outbuildings and even as stand-alone temporary
screens or hedges!
Sunflowers are the kings of the natural sunny
summer garden, attracting butterflies and birds. They're wonderfully easy to
grow -- just direct-sow the large seeds after all danger of frost. Not picky
about soil type, they need direct sun. Thin the plants to 2 to 4 feet apart so
that they can show off their foliage a bit as they grow.
Planting Instructions
- How to Sow Helianthus:
- Can be sown indoors at 68-86° (will germinate
over a wide temperature range)
- Sow 2-3 weeks before planting out
- Expect germination in 5-10 days
- They can be sown outdoors after last frost, but
remember: they are a favorite food of birds and rodents and may be eaten by
them
- When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a
maximum planting depth of 4X the width of the seed
