New! Strawberry-lemonade color palette.
Nicely sized 4–5″ blooms in hues of creamy yellow, lemon yellow, red, pink, and bicolor combinations. Dense, well-branched plants produce thin, 18–24″ long, stiff stems. While not technically a mixture, Summer Lovin presents a varied range of bloom colors within the lemon/red color palette. Overall, it has a very similar plant type and performance to its sister variety, Daydream Mixture, but offers a different (lemon/red) color range. Good choice for garden beds, farm beautification, mass plantings, and casual bouquets. Branching. Pollenless.
Edible Flowers: Flower buds can be fried, and the petals used as a garnish in salads and desserts; the flavor is bittersweet.
Specs:
- Plant Height: 64–76″
- Packet: 50 seeds
- Avg. 700 seeds/oz

| DAYS TO GERMINATION | 7-14 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C) |
| 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. |

| HARVEST | Flowers can be harvested tight, when color first shows, or when almost completely open, depending on your market and 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. Single stem sunflowers can make a beautiful and reliable display in the garden but please note that they will only provide one bloom form each plant. |
| NOTES | Flower size and stem diameter are controlled by plant spacing, temperature, soil type, and day length. For early and late season production, select varieties that are day-length neutral or are noted as suitable for flowering under short days. |
