Sunflower SunFill Green
Helianthus annuus
 
Novelty Florist Type  green sunflower.
 
These Trendy , Fast-growing sunflowers produce sturdy, 3–4" bright green, geometric flower heads for use as bouquet greenery. Often, sunflower backs can be just as beautiful and interesting as the faces. To bring the "sunflower back" look to the forefront, American sunflower breeder Tom Heaton bred two innovative varieties (SunFill Green and SunFill Purple) with highly ornamental sepals that wrap the flower face, creating that look typically only found on the back of the flower. Sunflower heads produce very small and few petals, allowing for the calyx to cover the face of the bloom at harvest. Pollenless. Single stem.
 
Variety good for fresh cut-flower displays.
 
NOTE: Recommended for cutting only. If left in the field, small petals (which were hidden under the calyx) and large seedhead develop, altering the look of the flower.
