This was a surprise. I awoke to find the first bloom on my sunflowers. It is very early to have sunflowers. This is a variety I started from seed indoors in early May. It is a cultivar that is bred for the floral trade that has pollenless flowers, and it yields only one flower per plant. I plant them very close together to give small blooms only about 4" across which makes them suitable for my mini-bouquets.
