Procut White Lite Sunflower - Care Sheet
Helianthus annuus (cultivar: ProCut White Lite, F1)
Overview
ProCut White Lite Sunflower is a florist-favorite selection of Helianthus annuus bred for elegant, creamy-ivory petals and a honey‑gold center on tall, single stems. It’s a fast, heat-loving annual that’s pollenless (great for tidy cut flowers) yet still offers nectar for pollinators. Plants grow about 1–2 m (3–6 ft) tall and flower roughly 50–65 days from sowing, making them perfect for summer bouquets and cheerful garden displays. Despite their dramatic looks, they are easy to grow when given full sun, consistent moisture, and well-drained soil.
