Pale green petals surround green centers in this compact, free-flowering selection, a delicate hue that combines with other annual flowers in the garden effortlessly. Pollen-free, it actually holds the pollen rather than releasing the gold dust. 5" blooms.
Wow! Lime green sunflowers 4”-5” across have jade green & cream centers. POLLEN FREE, which means no pollen all over everything when you bring the cut flowers inside. Borne on multi-branching stems for garden impact & lots of cut flowers. Grows 4’-5’ tall. Remember sunflowers love rich soil.
