Procut Peach Sunflower is an F1 hybrid from the acclaimed ProCut series, bred specifically for cut flower excellence. The peach-colored blooms emerge on compact, bushy plants that reach maturity in 50 to 60 days, making them a fast track to the vase. Direct seeding after the last frost or transplanting from indoor flats both work well, though these plants resent root disturbance. Grown in full sun with minimal water needs, this variety rewards you with professional-quality stems perfect for fresh arrangements or dried displays.

Peach-colored flowers on a sturdy, single-stemmed hybrid that produces high-quality blooms without pinching or complicated training. The compact bush habit and 50- to 60-day timeline mean you can succession-plant every one to two weeks for continuous harvests throughout the season. Flowers can be cut tight when color first shows, at peak bloom, or fully open for drying, giving you control over the finished look you want in your arrangements.
This variety shines as a cut flower, whether fresh in the vase or dried for long-lasting arrangements. The uniform, peach-toned blooms work beautifully in mixed bouquets or as striking single-variety bunches. Gardeners and small-scale flower farmers prize Procut varieties for their reliability and professional appearance straight from the garden.

Sow into 50- to 72-cell flats two to three weeks prior to planting outdoors. Handle seedlings carefully as plants dislike root disturbance.
After last frost, harden off transplants gradually and move them into the garden. Space plants 4 inches apart in rows 30 inches apart.
After last frost, direct sow seeds 1/2 inch deep into warm soil (at least 55°F). Space plants 4 inches apart in rows 30 inches apart.
Cut flowers in the morning just after they open, using a clean knife. Harvest when the bracts begin to shrivel. Flowers can be picked tight when color first shows, at nearly complete openness depending on your preference, or when completely open. For dried flowers, harvest when completely open and hang upside down in a barn or shed to cure.
Do not pinch plants. Pinched single-stem sunflowers will produce low-quality blooms or no blooms at all. However, cutting the mature central flower head after harvest will promote side-shoot flower production for follow-up harvests.

The series represents decades of sunflower breeding focused on stem quality, uniformity, and vase life rather than seed production or ornamental garden impact alone.”
