Helianthus annuus

These new and stunning tall sunflowers have it all! Each plant bears dense branches of bright flowers all along its central flower stalk. These pretty clusters of 4 to 5 inch blossoms have golden yellow petals that deepen to orange with chocolate centers. Best of all, High Noon is truly one of the longest blooming sunflowers weve seen, so you will enjoy nonstop glowing flower displays for weeks.

TO PLANT OUTDOORS

Plant in full sun in good garden soil when weather is warm and settled both day and night and all danger of frost is past. Poke seeds into well-worked soil 12 inch deep and 4 to 5 inches apart. Press soil firmly over seeds and keep moist until germination in 8 to 10 days.

TO START EARLY INDOORS

Several weeks before last frost date, sow seeds 12 inch deep in individual pots of well-drained seed starting mix. Keep moist and provide a strong light source until ready to plant outside when night temperatures reach 50-55F (10-13C). Transplant carefully into the garden in full sun, disturbing the roots as little as possible.

THIN OR TRANSPLANT

Space seedlings 12 inches apart so plants have ample room to grow.GROWING NOTES

Growing these flowers is easy and rewarding. Make several sowings, three weeks apart, to have a succession of bloom. Keep soil moist and well weeded and protect seedlings from hungry birds with netting or plastic berry baskets, removing before plants get crowded. Sunflowers need room! Be sure to thin seedlings when 3 inches tall to 12 inches apart.
