The medium tall "Astra Gold" ornamental sunflower is a surprising variety. It produces semi-double flowers that take on a unique form. Their golden-orange petals vary in length and therefore resemble asters. These large and flat blooms constitute a marvellous garden decoration that quickly attracts attention with its unmatched beauty. The centre of the flower consists of light green cluster of disc flowers. "Astra Gold" is terrific variety that will be particularly valued by lovers of rustic and idyllic gardens.

Numerous side stems on which plenty of flowers develop, belong to the characteristic features of this variety. These medium tall plants have stiff stems that reach 120 cm in height. The variety that we proudly present here is recommended for elevated beds, borders, plant groupings and growing alongside fences. Sunflowers are also excellent cut flowers. You only need a few of them in order to compose a magnificent rustic bouquet.

The "Astra Gold" medium tall ornamental sunflower does not belong to demanding plants. The cultivation of those plants can be mastered by almost everyone. Sow the seeds directly onto the field from April to June, every 40 x 50 cm apart. These sunflowers prefer sunny, sheltered sites with fertile, nutrient-rich and moist soil. We recommend to sow pointwise, 2-3 seeds per hole, about 3 cm deep. The shallow sowing may allow the birds to forage on the seeds. Sunflowers grow relatively quickly. The flowers adorn them from July to September.

Each package contains 1 grams of seeds. The basic plant information, cultivation instructions and the sow-by date can be found at the rear side of the package.
