75 Days to Maturity. Certified Organic. 

Productive, 4' plant with gorgeous 4-6" blooms on long stems. Great for the garden or cut flower production.

Direct seed. Sow seeds once the chance of frost has passed. Sow two seeds every 18" and thin to most vigorous plant at 3 sets of true leaves. Harvest or deadhead flowers to encourage more blooms. Can also be transplanted for earlier blooms, but make sure transplants do not get too leggy or rootbound. Can benefit from some trellising to prevent branches from breaking, and to maintain straighter stems for cut flower production. 

Seed Source Information:

Why is this variety premium? Driftless Dawn sunflower is difficult to produce seed from because of it's indeterminate growth habit (setting multiple heads in sequence), which means that we can't apply uniform netting to keep birds out, because the pollinators still need uninhibited access to the flowers for the younger heads. It's a delicate dance between getting high quality seed and not (only) feeding the birds.
