Sunflower - Velvet Queen - Helianthus annuus - 100 g - Perfect for Modern & Rustic Garden Styles - Fresh Seeds

The Velvet Queen sunflower is an ornamental annual variety distinguished by its intensely red-brown flowers with a velvety finish. Its unique colouring and strong, rigid stems make it suitable for both garden compositions and as a cut flower. The plant reaches a height of 100 to 150 cm, giving it a majestic appearance and making it ideal for the back of flower beds or as a background for shorter plants.

Sowing

Seeds of Velvet Queen should be sown directly into the soil. Preparing the soil in advance, such as loosening and removing weeds, increases the chances of uniform and rapid germination. The plants develop best in sunny locations where they have access to light for most of the day.

Timing for sowing into the soil

Sunflower Velvet Queen should be sown from April to June. During this period, the soil temperature is suitable for germination, and the plants can develop freely without the risk of frost. The recommended sowing depth is 1-2 cm, with spacing between seeds of approximately 30 cm.

Blooming period

The plants bloom from July to September, producing striking flower heads that attract bees and other pollinating insects. The abundant flowering lasts for several weeks, making this cultivar attractive to both gardeners and the local ecosystem.

Resistance and durability

Velvet Queen sunflower demonstrates resistance to low early spring temperatures, allowing it to be sown earlier than other varieties. The plants tolerate variable weather conditions well and do not require complex care, making them suitable for novice gardeners as well.

Application

Due to its height and decorative flowers, Velvet Queen is suitable for creating vertical garden compositions and as a background for lower plants. It can also be cultivated as a cut flower, thanks to its stiff stems and long-lasting blooms. It looks beautiful in both rural gardens and modern green space arrangements.
