Free Sunflower Garden for Cut Flowers Layout
Are you a fellow sunflower lover? How about growing a whole cut flower garden just for sunflowers! Enjoy this free sunflower garden layout for a spectacular sunflower garden and bouquets. But first, below are the varieties of sunflowers to make a beautiful sunflower bouquet.
Sunflowers Varieties
ProCut White Lite- These sunflowers have a yellow center and light yellowish cream petals.
Drop Dead Red Sunflowers- A mix of reds and orange sunflowers that I planted last year. I got the variety from botanical interest, and I highly suggest this mix. I planted the seeds in mid June and got the most beautiful fall colored sunflower arrangement. It was spectacular!
Goldy Double Sunflowers- These are a new hit to the flower world. The large sunflower heads and hundreds of petals, makes the sunflower look “fluffy”. It is definitely a show stopper.
Chocolate Sunflower- A dark burgundy sunflower makes a beautiful contrast with the yellow sunflowers that really brings this whole arrangement together.
Gold Rush- This classic sunflower is prolific and beautiful, also the perfect size for arrangements and vases.
Big Smile- Another classic looking sunflower. This slightly larger sunflower will give your bouquet interest and dimensions.
How to Plant
- Soil: Break up your soil and get rid of any weeds or grass. If needed add a layer of compost.
- Plant the seed ¼ inch deep and put 1-2 seeds in each hole. Refer to the seed packet’s instructions for your sunflower variety spacing needs. It can be anywhere from 4-18 inches apart. (TIP: ProCut Flowers only grow one flower, so they can be planted closer together)
- Water: Keep the ground damp, but not pooling water until the seedling comes up.
- Continued Care: Water regularly, especially when they are young and establishing roots. Once about a foot tall
- Deep water once a week at the base of the plant. Water 2-3 times a week during hot summer spells.
