One of the most unique colored flowers I have ever grown. Chocolate cherry sunflowers colors range from deep burgundy red, copper, and brown that glow in the sunlight. The plants get around 6 feet tall. This is a multi branching variety, meaning each stalk produces multiple flowers. Flowers range from 5-8 inches across in diameter. Also the centers have very little pollen so its a great choice for cut flower arrangements.
Ideal Growing Conditions
Sun: Full Sun
Water: Allow the soil to dry out a little bit in-between watering. Established plants are drought tolerant.
Fertilizer: Doesnt require a lot of fertilizer since this is a wildflower. Can give it some organic granular fertilizer every now and them to promote lush growth and blooms.
When & How To Sow Seeds: Can direct sow after the last frost or start in larger sized pots 6 weeks before your last spring frost date. Direct sowing is preferred because sunflowers grow a long tap root. Space 2 FT apart for good air circulation. Plants will get around 6FT tall at maturity. It helps to direct sow the seeds next to a fence or structure for support as tall sunflowers can blow over from strong winds. Direct sow in a spot that gets full sun, covering with 1/4 inch of soil. Keep the soil moist to speed up germination.
Germination: 7-10 days
Days To Maturity: Usually starts blooming in 2 to 3 months from seed
How & When To Harvest: Harvest blooms early in the morning for fresh cut flowers. Frequent harvesting and deadheading of spent flowers encourages more blooms.
Common Diseases: Sunflowers don't get too many diseases but in wet or humid environments can get powdery mildew or black spots. Improve airflow by proper plant spacing. Spray with 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect.
Common Pests: Sunflowers don't have too many pests. Small critters like squirrels and birds like to eat the seeds from the flower heads.
