Sunfinity sunflowers represent a revolutionary advancement in sunflower breeding,
offering superior garden performance and high impact at retail. Unlike traditional sunflowers
®
that cease blooming after cutting or provide only 3-4 weeks of garden interest, Sunfinity
delivers continuous, season-long flowering performance. These versatile plants excel in
both in-ground landscapes and large container applications, making them an exceptional
choice for growers seeking to maximize customer satisfaction.

The Sunfinity collection offers three distinct flower profiles. Leading the lineup is the
®
vegetatively propagated Sunfinity Double Yellow, ideally suited for shoulder season sales
with its refined garden dimensions of 28-36 inches in height and 24-28 inches wide. The
seed-propagated varieties - Yellow Dark Center and Yellow-Red Bicolor - command
attention with their impressive flower size and garden heights of 36-48 inches and spreads
of 24-28 inches, dominating early summer retail across North America. The innovative
®
"Sunfinity Sandwich" strategy leverages these varieties' peak performance periods,
positioning Double Yellow during the crucial May and August/September shoulder
seasons, while the seed varieties take center stage during the prime summer months of
June and July. Let’s dive into the key propagation and production tips for this appetizing
and scrumptious garden masterpiece.
