Good Qualities
Beautiful bi-color (8); Mixed well or by itself, strong stems, well accepted; Strong-stemmed dark colored sunflower, a welcome break from the usual weak-necked darker introductions; Favorite new sunflower, quick crop time; Best bi-color I’ve grown, very uniform production; Flower coloration distinctive, useful for fall bouquets, fast, nice size, consistent, flowers and height plant; Nice petal formation, strong stem, but not too thick, nice head size; Two weeks earlier than ‘Ring of Fire’; Nice flower size.
Problems
Drops petals readily in postharvest (2); No problems (2); Stems are very thick! A lot of market customers did not like this, too big for florist use. I would not grow again because of this; Poor germination; Coloration – brownish red; color fades in bright sunlight, final coloring faint; Opens fast and turns sideways, color could be a more contrasting bi-color like ‘Orange Mahogany’; Weak stems, floppy flower heads.
Postharvest
Used Floralife; Did not use any postharvest treatment; Did not refrigerate; water only. Editor’s note: see separate postharvest article in this issue for more information.
