WHEN THE TIME COMES, BRING BACK THE SUNFINITY®
DOUBLE; HERE ARE SOME LATE SUMMER NOTES:

• It works great as a mum centerpiece (cuttings available until Week 26). With a 10-week
production time from stick to finish in summer, you can have these crops ready for mum sales
on Week 36.
• There are several insect pests and plant pathogens out there during summer production of
annual crops. It is recommended to apply a broad-spectrum fungicide for root and shoot
protection, as well as a systemic insecticide for pest prevention.

®
• Sunfinity Double performs in the garden until frost occurs. Be mindful to maintain good
fertility, making sure to top-dress with controlled release fertilizer, or apply periodic water-
soluble fertigation for season long flowering and robust growth.

®
So, maximize your season with the Sunfinity Sandwich strategy by positioning Sunfinity Double
®
Yellow as bookends during peak spring crops and garden mum production. Welcome summer
with the large flowers of Sunfinity Yellow Dark Center and Sunfinity Yellow-Red Bicolor for a
®
®
beautiful and bold retail display. Producing these seed varieties after Week 21, when production
schedules slow, allows focused attention to growth control protocols. Remember, a proactive
PGR strategy and watching for those key developmental phases are essential to help achieve
the retail specification goals. Enhance late-season sales by programming Sunfinity Yellow-Red
®
Bicolor in mid to late summer, leveraging its Gaillardia and Rudbeckia-like appearance before
®
transitioning to a vibrant fall lineup featuring Sunfinity Double alongside mums, kale, zinnia,
celosia, and marigolds.
®
As versatile as it is beautiful, Sunfinity Sunflowers can be used in a multitude of ways. From
®
the landscape bed to an indoor bouquet, Sunfinity brings beauty to the home and garden —
®
inside and out. Sunfinity is a very pollinator friendly plant! Although it produces limited pollen,
it is nectar-rich and offers a great habitat for bees, beneficial bugs and birds. Full culture for
