Problems
Side shoots were too short to be useful (3); Drought effected plants (2); Petals shorter than average sunflower, not quite as graceful looking, but acceptable; Not extremely productive; Pollen; Early in the season stems were very short, so I did not cut.

Comments
Similar to ‘Prado Red’; Similar to ‘Sonya’ types, but better looking and taller; Shares a lot of characteristics with numerous other small sunflowers; Great mixed with ‘Valentine’ & ‘Autumn Beauty’ sunflowers. Also, just the right size for mix bouquets or mixed with statice; Lots of branching yellow sunflowers out there. Most are better; I like ‘Prado Gold’ better than ‘Valentine’ and it is just about as fast to crop.
