Small, exceptionally elegant, and unusually abundant flowering plants that delight gardeners, cut flower growers, and flower bed enthusiasts with their structured foliage, delicate appearance, and continuous blooming. The splendid sunflowers for cut flowers from the breeding house W. Legutko are a top-class variety created with the aim of providing excellent material for floristry in the second half of summer and autumn. This variety boasts strong, well-branched, and distinctly upright stems and medium-sized, visually perfect flower heads. Bright yellow ray florets enclose a clean, dark, and expressive center, creating an unusually powerful, eye-pleasing, and silky overall impression. By nature, this is a reliable and fast-growing annual summer and autumn flower that perfectly withstands the vagaries of our climate. W. Legutko's carefully prepared 3g seed packet guarantees excellent germination and high varietal uniformity, providing the opportunity to grow this exquisite and noble queen of the floristry world yourself.
🌱 Suitable for:
- Cut flower production and floristry: This variety is specially bred for cutting – its flower heads are slightly more compact, lighter, and oriented sideways rather than downwards, making them ideal for vases and bouquets where they retain freshness for a very long time.
- Classic and mixed flower beds: Thanks to their more compact and branched growth habit, these sunflowers seamlessly integrate into the middle of flower beds, creating a dynamic and warm backdrop for other summer flowers.
- Flowering hedges and group plantings: When planted in denser rows, the plants form a magnificent flowering wall that effectively divides garden areas or serves as a vibrant accent along paths.
✨ Key advantages:
- Excellent vase life and decorative appeal: Unlike ordinary field sunflowers, this cut flower variety does not produce as much sticky pollen and does not shed in the vase, keeping the surroundings completely clean.
- Branched bush structure: A single plant can produce several side shoots with high-quality flower buds, significantly increasing the total number of cut flowers from one plant.
- Rapid growth cycle and low maintenance: The plant develops extremely quickly, reaching optimal size in a short time, and does not require complex or time-consuming care.
- Excellent seed germination: The 3g packet contains an optimal amount of professionally selected seeds with high germination power, ensuring strong and uniform development of young seedlings.

⚙️ Growing instructions and recommendations:
- Sowing and site selection: Sunflowers are best sown directly into open soil in spring – from late April to May, when the ground has warmed up slightly. Sow seeds about 2 cm deep, press lightly, and water carefully. Seeds germinate quickly and uniformly, usually in about 7–12 days.
- Distance between plants: Once the young seedlings have grown, it is recommended to thin them out, leaving about 30x40 cm between plants, to encourage the formation of long, straight stems without overly large, heavy flower heads.
- Soil requirements: This variety absolutely requires a maximally sunny, warm, and open location. The plant prefers fertile, humus-rich, deeply worked, and moderately moist neutral soil with good drainage.
- Care and the most important rule: During the rapid growth period and before flower buds open, sunflowers require a large amount of moisture, so they should be watered regularly on hot summer days. Flowers intended for cutting are best harvested early in the morning, when the buds have just begun to open – this will ensure maximum vase life.
