Sunflower "Astra Rose"
Decorative sunflower "Astra Rose".
Plant height 100-120 cm.
Blooms from June to September.
It reaches its greatest decorative value in sunny places and fairly fertile soils. They are used for planting in flower beds, in large groups, and for cutting.
Agrotechnics.
Sowing is done at the end of April - beginning of May in open ground, the seeds are lightly sprinkled with soil, maintaining a planting distance of 20-30 cm. For earlier flowering, seedlings can be sown in early April, always in pots, since the plants do not tolerate replanting well. Seedlings appear at a temperature of +18+25°C, on days 7-14.
