Packaging: We work with the best German, Spanish, Dutch and Chilean seed suppliers, which allows us to offer you Sungold Sunflower seeds harvested and packaged in 2024, guaranteeing their freshness and a high percentage of germination.
Crop duration: Sungold Sunflower is an annual plant that blooms during the summer. Plants begin to flower approximately 8 to 10 weeks after sowing.
Special Features: The Sungold Sunflower is known for its compact, fully double flowers, which can reach a diameter of up to 15 cm. Unlike traditional sunflowers, this variety has a more dwarf growth habit, reaching a height of between 60 to 90 cm, making it perfect for small gardens or even growing in containers. The flowers are ideal for cutting and using in floral arrangements, where they add a unique texture and color.
Lighting: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and abundant flowering. Make sure plants receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Sungold Sunflower requires regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist, but well-drained. Although it is drought tolerant once established, consistent watering will promote the development of large, healthy flowers.
Pests: Sunflowers can be susceptible to pests such as aphids, caterpillars and sunflower weevils. Using environmentally friendly products such as potassium soap and neem oil is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold resistance: Sungold sunflower is sensitive to cold and does not tolerate frost well. It is recommended to sow after the risk of frost has passed in spring.
Substrate: A well-drained, fertile substrate is recommended. Sungold Sunflower adapts well to a variety of soils, but a soil enriched with compost will give the best results.
Harvest: Sungold Sunflower flowers are ideal for cutting and use in floral arrangements. Cut the flowers when they are fully open to enjoy maximum beauty and longevity in the vase.
