Sunflower VALKYRIE

The VALKYRIE sunflower is a decorative annual variety ideal for enhancing gardens and landscape compositions during the summer and autumn seasons. The plant reaches a height of 130-140 cm and features abundant lateral branching, giving it a lush and attractive appearance. Its lemon-yellow flowers with a dark center, approximately 12 cm in diameter, form bright, showy baskets that look great both individually and in groups, and are suitable for bouquets and decorating fences and structures. This sunflower has an ultraprecoce flowering period, beginning in June and lasting until September, ensuring a prolonged decorative effect. The time from planting to harvest is 10-12 weeks, allowing for precise planning of planting to obtain flowers at the desired time. The plant is sun-loving and heat-tolerant, withstands drought well, and prefers loose, fertile soils, making it low-maintenance and adaptable to various climatic conditions. Sowing seeds in open ground is recommended in late April to early May, maintaining a spacing of 20-40 cm depending on planting method. For earlier flowering, seedlings can be grown in pots, sown at the beginning of April, as sunflowers do not tolerate transplanting well. Seeds are sown in clusters of 2-3 seeds at a depth of 2-5 cm. Due to its resilience and low maintenance, the VALKYRIE sunflower is an excellent choice for both agricultural plots and decorative landscaping.
