q on some sunflower varieties

Posted by KristenMarie Z4-5/New Mexico (My Page) on

Hi guys- I just found this catalogue that has some sunflower varieties for really good prices... but some of them I dont' know ....

Does anyone know Santa Fe sunflower? It looks like what I know as "giant sungold" (with the floofy face)...

Also what about Sunspot? Too short?

And, Tangerine? Good? Is it a multi-branching?

Is Lemon Queen a multi-brancher?

Thanks,

Kristen

Wanted to let you know that I raised the Sunspot this year and was very pleased with it because it was short with a large head. I guess my kids got a real kick out of that because it was more their size. I thought they did really well. My favorite has to be the "chianti hybird" which was wonderful for arrangements this summer. There is a sunflower seed exchange in the roundrobin section that some of us are involved in if you'd like to check that out. Good Luck!

The only one of those I recognize is Lemon Queen. I can't remember if she's a multi-brancher, although I think so. My reason for not growing her any more is the pollen - lots and lots of it.
