ProCut Plum

Yes, they are excellent for cutting gardens. Because they are pollenless, they won't drop messy yellow dust on your tables or surfaces, making them a clean and sophisticated choice for indoor vases.

While you should space seeds 3 to 4 inches apart initially, you should thin the seedlings to 12 to 18 inches apart once they emerge. This ensures each plant has enough airflow and nutrients to reach its full height of 5 to 6 feet.

Due to their height of 5 to 6 feet, these sunflowers require significant root space and stability. They are best suited for in-ground planting where they can develop the robust root systems necessary to support their tall, single-stem structure.

No, the ProCut Plum is a single-stem, hybrid annual. Each plant will produce one large, impressive bloom and then complete its life cycle, so you may want to succession plant seeds every few weeks if you want a continuous supply of flowers.

They prefer deep, infrequent watering rather than light, daily sprinkles. This encourages the roots to grow deeper into the soil, which helps keep the tall stems sturdy and resistant to tipping over in the wind.

You can expect seedlings to emerge within 7 to 14 days, provided the soil temperature is between 60°F and 75°F. Ensure you plant them at a depth of about 1/2 inch for the best results.
