Plant Information
Suncredible® Saturn™
Helianthus
This everblooming sunflower is built on a well branched bush-like habit that is perfect for the back of the bed, as an annual screen or along a fence for a long blooming sunflower. The blooms are about 4” across and do not need to be deadheaded to continue blooming, but can be groomed for tidiness, and also makes a great cut flower sunflower. This plant blooms several weeks longer than similar sunflowers due to its semi indeterminate to determinate habit. Great for pollinators and will pump blooms all season and well into the fall for a great seasonal pop of color as a pollinator friendly bush plant.

| Uses |
Great in landscapes and containers as a long blooming sunflower. It is well-suited to growing at the back of garden beds or along fences. Makes a great cutflower. |
| Maintenance Notes |
Great in average and rich soils, but also capable of growing in poorer soils and tolerant of dry conditions once established as a pollinator friendly bush plant. A controlled release fertilizer application at the time of planting should be sufficient for the summer, however, a second application of controlled release fertilizer applied in mid-summer should increase bloom number and keep the plant producing longer as a long blooming sunflower. A great home cut flower sunflower. |
