Helianthus annuus 'Magic Roundabout' F1
- Product number: 524450
- Origin: North America
- Latin: Helianthus annuus
A particularly warmly coloured mixture of branching plants (180cm high). A technical explanation for growers: This is an F1 hybrid between two parent lines of different species (interspecific cross) using a CMS mother line (Cytoplasmic Male Sterility). The result of the cross, the F1 hybrid, is sterile and thus pollen-free! What is very unusual about this hybrid is that it does not result in a pure line but in a mixture of colours. It is possible that in this mixture of pollen-free types you will find a few bastards that do have pollen.
The description on the back of the packet that the pollen is sticky is based on a misunderstanding.
The sunflower is currently enjoying unprecedented popularity. We are responding to this by offering a huge assortment: choose for yourself!
