Good Qualities
Good light yellow/lemon color (6); Wonderful, dark velvet eye, upright radials, long lasting as cuts. Very strong stems, good diameter. Heat and drought tolerant. Exceptional flower heads 5-6; across; Definitely growing next year; Great flower head posture (for use in mixed bouquets). Better than average resistance to leaf fungus. Good stem length. Good plant size. Good flower head size; Germinated well in greenhouse and direct sow in field even with record breaking drought in my county; Many heads; Great stem length. Strong stems; Grew well, good shape, branches useful; No lodging after big storm; No rust, very uniform, good proportion of petals to disk. Purity of color is consistent throughout petals. Pollenless, small leaves.
Problems
Color too light (2); Too short (2); None; Lighter petal color seems to attract more bugs than darker, golder colored sunflowers; Just never looked very good for us. Seemed to be insect prone; Blends with other sunflowers, not appealing by itself. Not much market demand. Axillary branches (good for home garden) cuts; Like Valentine, this variety does not like our soil.

Comments
I would grow these all year long. Pure yellow color is exquisite for a fresh cut. One of my favorites out of all I have grown. No fertilizer or chemicals used; We will grow again next year; Didn’t hold very long after cut and tends to fall over in field; Nice multi-bloom sunflower.
