Sunflower - Starburst™ Greenburst DMR boasts a stunning yellow-gold semi-double flower with a vibrant green center. Its appearance has been compared to that of Gerberas, but with taller stems. This variety produces an abundance of flowers on branching plants, making it perfect for high density growing and single flower cutting. For optimal growth, give Starburst™ Greenburst plenty of space in the garden, as it will continue to branch out for an extended period of time. Plus, with its resistance to Downy Mildew (DMR), this sunflower is a reliable and long-lasting addition to any garden.

SOWING:
Direct seed (recommended) - After last frost, sow ½" deep. Transplant - Sow into 72 to 50-cell flats 2-3 weeks prior to planting out. Plants dislike root disturbance but sowing indoors and then transplanting the first crop outdoors can be a successful way to get first-early sunflowers. Pinching branching varieties is recommended to encourage branching and longer stems. Succession-sow every 2-3 weeks and/or plant multiple varieties for continued harvest.

18-24".

Annual.
HARVEST:
Flowers can be harvested tight, when color first shows, or when almost completely open, depending on your preferred use. Dried - Flowers are completely open. Hang or use silica gel.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Light, well-drained soil. Excessive nitrogen may cause plants to grow too vigorously with abnormal flower shapes.
USES:
Excellent cut flower.
NOTES:
Flower size and stem diameter are controlled by plant spacing, temperature, soil type, and day length.
