This is a daffodil-yellow sunflower developed specifically for cutting, not as a secondary use. The compact growth habit and single-stem architecture mean no wasted energy on side branches; every plant channels its strength into one perfect bloom. At 50 to 60 days from seed to harvest, you can succession-sow every one to two weeks and have continuous flowers all season long, which is exactly why commercial growers favor this variety.
Procut Yellow Lite excels as a cut flower for floral arrangements and bouquets. The single-stem architecture and consistent bloom quality make it a favorite for both small-scale home cutting gardens and commercial floristry. Flowers can also be dried for long-lasting arrangements when fully open.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Sow into 72 to 50-cell flats 2 to 3 weeks prior to your planting-out date. Keep soil warm (50 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit) for germination. Handle seedlings gently, as sunflowers dislike root disturbance; transplant as soon as conditions allow to minimize shock.
Transplant after your last frost date. Harden off seedlings gradually before moving them into the garden. Space plants 4 inches apart in full sun.
After your last frost date, sow seeds 1/2 inch deep directly into the garden. This is the recommended method. Succession-sow every 1 to 2 weeks for continuous blooms throughout the season.
Harvest flowers when color first shows for tight buds, or wait until they are almost completely open, depending on your preference and intended use. For drying, allow flowers to open completely, then hang upside down in a warm, dry location or use silica gel for faster preservation.
