ProCut® White Nite (F1) Sunflower Seed
Exciting addition to the ProCut series.
Creamy pale yellow (almost white) petals on a dark center. Combines well with soft or vivid colors and is every bit as early and reliable as the other well-known ProCut colors. Single-stem plants have tall, strong stems and 4–6", pollenless blooms. NOTE: Light-colored petals are more susceptible to damage by insect feeding. To avoid insect damage, we encourage harvesting blooms just as they begin to open and storing until they open to the desired appearance. Another exciting introduction from US plant breeder Dr. Tom Heaton and company. Pollenless. Single stem.Specs:
