Procut Sunflower
Procut Sunflower is a vigorous F1 hybrid that delivers some of summer's most stunning blooms, grown in zones 4 to 10 as a reliable annual. These upright plants reach 4 to 6 feet tall and produce radiant flower heads in signature orange, gold, red, sunburst, or mixed colors, each bloom measuring 3 to 4 inches across. From planting to first flowers takes 50 to 65 days, making them fast enough to enjoy mid-summer color yet substantial enough to anchor the back of any garden bed or fill a decorative planter with eye-catching presence.

Care Instructions
Direct Sow
Direct sow Procut Sunflower seeds into the garden after the last frost date when soil has warmed. Plant seeds and thin seedlings to maintain the recommended spacing of 120 inches between plants.
Pruning
No pruning is required for Procut Sunflowers given their upright growth habit. Simply allow plants to grow naturally to their full 4 to 6 foot height. You may remove lower leaves as they age to improve air circulation and reduce disease pressure, and deadheading spent flowers will encourage continued blooming.
