Procut Lemon F1 Sunflower
The ProCut Lemon sunflower is a striking cultivar known for its vibrant, cheerful blooms. Each flower head features a circle of bright, lemon-yellow petals that elegantly frame a contrasting dark central disk, creating a visually appealing contrast. Typically growing tall with remarkably strong stems, these sunflowers stand upright and proud, making them excellent for cut flower arrangements. Each sturdy stem produces a single, substantial flower head, often reaching an impressive 4 to 6 inches in diameter, providing a significant visual impact.
A notable characteristic of the ProCut Lemon is that it is pollenless. This trait is highly desirable for florists and individuals who appreciate cut flowers, as it eliminates the messy pollen that can often shed and stain surfaces. This clean quality, combined with the flower's sunny hue and robust form, makes the ProCut Lemon a popular choice for bouquets and floral designs, bringing a touch of bright, effortless beauty indoors.
