Sunflower Helix 'Golden Orange' F1 Cut Flower Seeds |
|
Like a Van Gogh painting these Sunflower Helix 'Golden Orange' F1 flowers make a beautiful picture.
They have large sumptuous flower heads that span 15cm and are gold in colour with a rich chocolate coloured centre. They grow to a height of between 1-1.5m and have a strong neck that helps support the flower head. These sunflowers do not shed pollen when cut and are best cut just before first ray of petals open.
