Sunflower Seeds: Sunfill Purple (F1 Hybrid - Helianthus annuus) 

Sunfill Purple Sunflower is a unique, pollen-free branching sunflower prized for its rich plum-purple centres surrounded by layers of soft golden petals. Unlike traditional sunflowers, Sunfill Purple produces multiple blooms per plant, creating a fuller, bouquet-style appearance that is especially popular with cut-flower growers. The flowers have a velvety, almost antique colour palette that pairs beautifully with whites, blush tones, and deep burgundies in arrangements.

Strong stems and long vase life make this variety a florist favourite, while the pollen-free blooms help keep tables and linens clean. In the garden, these sunflowers bring warm colour, height, and a cheerful presence without overwhelming nearby plants. They are easy to grow, quick to mature, and reliable performers in both backyard beds and larger cutting gardens. Ideal for gardeners who want something a little different from classic yellow sunflowers, Sunfill Purple delivers elegance, productivity, and standout colour all season long.

Plants grow to about 5–6 feet (1.5–1.8 m) tall and produce single-stemmed blooms. Harvest just before the central disc matures for the best cut flower stage.

Growing Instructions:

• Start Indoors: Sow seeds 2–3 weeks before last frost, or direct sow outdoors once the soil has warmed.

• Depth: Plant seeds ½ inch (1.25 cm) deep.

• Spacing: Space 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) apart for strong stems and healthy air circulation.

• Sun: Prefers full sun.

• Soil: Well-draining, moderately rich soil is ideal.

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.

• Days to Bloom: About 60–70 days from sowing.

Cut Flower Tip: Harvest when the bracts are fully formed but before the centre opens. Strip lower leaves and place stems in cool water right away.
