Helianthus 'Terracotta'

Good Qualities

Rich, dark burnt orange color (8); Bouquet type, small flower, no pollen, dark disk; Very nice; Strong stems, good vaselife if harvested at right time; Tall; Very consistent; Produces lots of stems; Customers loved the color but considered it to be fallish and were not quite ready for that in August – With timing (plus good weather) it could be a real star among fall flowers – Were remarkable bug free, I could hardly believe it; Admired by all, long side-stems.

Problems

Too tall and slow to flower, axillary buds in cluster, some off-colors; Bent necks; Tended to fall over at angles, whereas other sunflowers didn’t; Stem lengths a bit short (often under 24 inches); Everything (centers and laterals) seemed to bloom at once.

Comments

Similar to ‘Velvet Queen’ and ‘Earthwalker’ but superior to both; Similar to ‘Earthwalker’; Long ray petals, some very nice flowers that are smaller with overlapping petals; Nice secondary flower in bouquets, especially in the fall – 1st cutting netted nice center flowers for bouquets – We called them ‘Mochas flowers’ for our customer – more evocative name; A secondary harvest of 20-36 inch axillary stems (arising from 7-15 inch stumps) could have been made in the first week of Sept – approx 3-4 stems per stump; Is this day neutral? we’d like to be able to produce this one in Sept. 10.
