Good Qualities
Interesting orange/bronze bicolor (7); Fast to flower (wk 24), uniform height and color – Long petals, no pollen, some secondary petals (not attractive) – Red is faded on some axillary buds; Pretty petal shape combine to make this a fine looking flower – Good 2nd bloom with stems long enough to use – Was the earliest of all sunflower to bloom; These are really very beautiful, fully double; Strong stems, held up well in water; Would do better in the fall; Pollenless, unusual and cheerful form, side branches made good grower bunches; Well accepted but needed to mix with other sunflowers to better sell them, strong stems and nice size of flowers, 5 foot plant height; Great novelty flower.
Problems
Variable head shade (3); Too short (3); Bad seed mixes, many other types mixed in; Erratic bloom; From my experience…they will not tolerate any stress – If they are stressed, they produce totally unusable flowers; Didn’t transplant well for us (Zone 7a); Variable color; Flowered early; Some customers thought flowers were wilted because of ruffled appearance; Mildew (Zone 5); Color not striking; Everything (centers and laterals) seemed to bloom at once; Multi-branching.

Comments
This was one of my favorites; The stem length averaged 34 inches with the majority of stems estimated to be marketable; Harvested 7/26-8/9 (Zone 6/7); Similar to ‘Starbursts’.
