Summer Breeze Mix

Flower

Helianthus annuus

Overview
Our favorite branching sunflowers, together in one easy-to-grow mix. Varieties are selected to provide a nice color balance, as well as for their similar ranges of plant height and bloom time. Blooms average 4-6" at the recommended spacing. This mix is a good choice for cutting gardens, roadside displays, farm beautification, and garden beds. Compared to Autumn Beauty, Summer Breeze Mix has pollenless blooms that represent a greater diversity of color and shape; also, plants are shorter, more compact, and easier to manage. Branching. Pollenless. Edible Flowers: Flower buds can be fried and the petals used as a garnish in salads and desserts; the flavor is bittersweet.
