Helianthus Solano® Orange Nr.12 is a mid-early, uniform variety with a classic flower shape with 2 rows of overlapping, pointy petals, a bright orange colour and a black pollen-free centre. Orange Nr. 12 is less sensitive to daylength variations, and easy to schedule. Thanks to the small top leaves, Solano® Orange Nr. 12 is easy to handle. Helianthus Solano® is a collection of cut sunflowers from Evanthia, with a great flowering power and robust, unbranched stems. With outdoor sowing from early spring to midsummer and a short cultivation period of 8 to 11 weeks, you can harvest these sun-worshippers from early summer to late autumn. Thanks to the long stems of 100 to 180 cm and the small top leaves, Solano® is easy to harvest and process. As the flowers of Helianthus Solano® are pollen-free, the flower hearts and petals remain clean, resulting in a longer vase life.
