Helianthus annuus 'Henry Wilde'

  • Product number: 524560
  • Origin: North America
  • Latin: Helianthus annuus

This is a very old variety, but still very popular. The plants branch out profusely and produce many medium-sized, warm yellow flowers with a dark center at the top. Strong as a cut flower and, due to its enormous growth power (easily reaches 3 m in fertile soil), also a contender for competitions. In the latter case, it is wise to continuously remove the side branches. After flowering, leave the seed heads for the birds!

Sunflowers are currently enjoying unprecedented popularity. We are responding to this by offering an enormous assortment: take your pick!
