Helianthus annuus 'Sunfinity Yellow Dark Center' ~ Sunfinity® Yellow Dark Center Sunflower

Sunfinity® Yellow Dark Center Sunflower is a vigorous, well-branched annual valued for its exceptional ability to continuously produce new flowers throughout the growing season. Its bushy, upright habit develops multiple flowering stems rather than the single large bloom typical of traditional sunflowers, providing an extended display of bright color for beds, borders, and containers. Fuzzy, dark green foliage forms a dense backdrop for the abundant bright golden-yellow flowers, each centered with a prominent dark brown disk. New blooms continue opening throughout summer and into fall, providing up to 12 weeks of color under favorable conditions. The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators and make cheerful additions to fresh-cut arrangements. Sunfinity® Yellow Dark Center flowers best in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. It is a heat-loving selection with improved resistance to common foliar diseases, making it particularly well suited to long, warm growing seasons.
