Pollen Free: The pollen-free trait is beneficial for people who suffer from pollen allergies, ensures no pollen smell, avoids pollen-staining and enhances the petal life of flowers - in the garden, in vases after harvest and for enhanced transport and storage of cut-flowers.

Planting Time: Dependent on region, but in most southern climates, sunflowers can be planted from mid-August through to late February, provided soil temperatures are above ~10C.
In sub-tropical coastal and northern climates, sunflowers can be planted in most months but avoid flowering during hot humid summer months - March to October plantings are preferred.
