On a flower farm, once you grow Procut sunflowers, you never go back. And I like to get mine straight from the source – the developers website, Sunflower Selections. Join Serina to unbox all her sunflower seeds and chat about varieties and colours that worked best for her last year. Why she is growing Double Quick with her Procuts (even though her favorite is Greenburst). And her grand plans to convince the world that Sunfill isn’t an ugly duckling, but a swan.

Serina, have you tried the terracotta from SS? I purchased this year and am eager to see how they will be for fall bouquets! My favorite last year was the starburst lemon eclair.
Can’t wait to grow them.. bought Soo many from sunflower selection
I just ordered my sunflowers. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Serina if you enjoy the green sunburst when it blooms for it's "architecture"- you would really enjoy the HULK Aster. It's probably one of my favourite "ugly" flowers, it adds such a nice filler touch to a bouquet! I'm going to check out Sunflower Selection- it's great that they deliver to Canada. Thanks for this informative video!
Serina your bouquets have become sooooooooo much better then when you first started with the cut flowers, you’ve developed an eye for texture and colour selection. They look gorgeous
I wondered what sunfield look like in full bloom, and i agree, they are very unusual, proportion is like its a giant head with relatively small petals just opening up. Looks very fresh. Orange/bright yellow grew on me this year,, i totally blame Serina! In all-yellow bouquets they really shine 🙂 but my favourite are white! And havent Steve sent you some of his doubles? I thiught he did…
This is awesome information. Do you direct sow or do you grow your starts and transplant? Thank you.
Re any of these varieties open pollinated?Thanks
The sunfill green where my absolute favorite last year. I love their blooms too.
I absolutely LOVE the format of this video. Beautiful backdrop, excellent editing to highlight each flower variety, and great focus on your narrative. Looking forward to many more like this.
I ordered from Sunflower Selections because of your video last year! I like to be able to support smaller seed companies. Not sure how I feel about the fact that I placed my order before I saw this video. You featured several varieties I now wish I ordered. Probably for the best, I guess. I don't need more seeds, but I want them! Also, I love that you love "ugly" flowers. I've gained such an appreciation for varieties that are off the beaten path because of your videos. You have a great eye for design. Wishing you and your family health and a plentiful growing season!
I haven't grown sunflowers in the past but what the heck – I ordered some of the minis/containers.
This was a really good post. Really good information, great photos of each variety, great background and lighting. Fantastic job guys.
I bought so many sunflower seeds from sunflower selections last year and never got around to them. Looking forward to adding them to my garden this year!
I'm a home grower and I agree about the Starburst Greenburst! I've been growing them a few years and kind of just happened into them. Thanks for the info here. I'm going to try the ProCut White Lite too and I'll think about succession growing for the ProCuts. I think I still have some Gold Lite from last year but had no idea what I was doing in terms of timing. Thanks!
I've been binging your videos and living vicariously through you. I only have a small garden in the UK but I'm getting inspiration for annuals I can try out this year!
They should give you guys an affiliate link!!
Don't like sunflowers
Wow your garden is very nice such a garden we have seen for the first time on youtube.
I love sun fill too
Flower videos are getting me through winter!
Wow! Great information. Made notes!
What about Sunflower Steve's sunflowers?
How do you keep thrips off your bright yellow sunflowers? And any other pests? Or do you have to deal with them at all?
