Helianthus Vincent’s Choice Summer is a professional cut-flower sunflower with strong, upright stems and bright golden-orange blooms surrounding a rich brown center. The flowers face upward at about a 45-degree angle, giving them a cleaner presentation for bunching, bouquets, and market sales. This variety is pollen-free, making it cleaner for arrangements and easier for customers to enjoy indoors.
Vincents Choice Summer Selling Tips
The strong stems, upward-facing blooms, and pollen-free flowers make it a great choice for cut-flower growers, farm stands, florists, and garden centers. Its bright sunflower color is easy to market for late summer, fall displays, roadside stands, and seasonal flower sales.
General Growing Tips For Your Seedling Tray
Plant in a sunny location with good draining soil with a 5.8-6.2 ph. Sunflowers perform best in full sun and should not be overfed. Too much nitrogen, especially during summer production, can cause overly vigorous growth and abnormal flower shapes. Use a calcium nitrate-based feed around 50–75 ppm nitrogen.
Flowering
Flowering occurs more rapidly when the days are shorter (less than 12 hours). Stems will be longer and blooms will be larger when days are longer (more than 13 hours). Vincent's series should bloom from spring until frost.
Pinching
We do not recommend pinching. Pinching can reduce stem quality and disrupt the clean, professional cut-flower habit.
Spacing
For cut flower production, it is recommended to space plants about 5-6 inches apart. Dense spacing helps reduce side branching and encourages a more usable cut-flower stem with a flower size around 5 inches.
Pests
Watch for aphids, lygus bugs, and whiteflies, which Sakata lists as the principal pests for Vincent’s sunflowers. Scout regularly, especially during warm weather and field production.
Disease
Downy mildew can be a serious issue in sunflowers, especially in cool, wet conditions. Good drainage, proper spacing, and avoiding overly wet soil will help reduce disease pressure.
Planting Vincents Choice Summer Liners
Plant one plug per pot in full sun.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
