Grow a garden thats filled with Cherry Rose Sunflowers from freshly harvested Helianthus annus flower seeds. Cherry Rose is a hybrid variety of Sunflower that produces pollen free blooms in a deep cherry to maroon coloring. The tips of each petal are almost a light peach, or salmon color. Each Sunflower plant will stand to a mature height of roughly 4 to 6 feet tall. The stems may need support until maturity. Once established, they are very strong and will stand straight. Helianthus annus is grown as an annual flowering plant that grows quickly, blooms profusely through the summer months and later dies with the first frost.

Sunflowers are among one of the easiest flowers to grow from fresh flower seeds. They are also seen as one of the most popular and sought after varieties when it comes to gardening. Sunflowers will make a great cut flower for floral arrangements & bouquets and are best used directly outdoors as a border plant, along driveways & fences or in fields by the masses. Cherry Rose is just one of the many hybrid varieties we have to offer.

Sowing The Seed

Sunflowers are not particularly fond of being transplanted, but if started indoors, sow in peat pots, 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Sow at a depth of 1/2” under topsoil. Transplant entire pots into the garden, or direct sow when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed. Stakes may be necessary to support your Sunflowers, only until the stems become strong enough to stand on their own.

Growing Conditions

Sunflowers grow long taproots and may rot if the roots become waterlogged. It is recommended to check your sowing area for hard, compacted soil prior to sowing. Renew any hard, compacted soil with a mixture of compost. Sunflowers will enjoy an area of full sunlight for the majority of the day and should be watered daily so that the soil is kept moist until germination has occurred.

Germination & Growth

Your sunflower seeds will begin to germinate within 7 to 10 days after sowing. The plants will grow to a mature height of 4 to 6 feet tall. Space your seeds about 6 to 12 inches apart from one another. Cherry Rose Sunflower is an annual, branching variety, that produces deep, cherry red flowers with salmon colored tips. The stems are accented with spade shaped leaves.
