Sunflower ‘Sunrich Gold’
Helianthus annuus
Description
One of our most abundantly grown single-stemmed varieties, this winner flowers just 60 to 70 days from sowing. While the entire Sunrich series is worth cultivating, I particularly love the gold variety, with its clear yellow petals and pretty greenish-yellow center.

Days to maturity: 60 to 70 days
