As peculiar as it is pretty, the Astral Rose Cream Sunflower is our new fave. Smokey, pastel, apricot-pink rays of petals beam off a powder puff tuft of pollinator paradise, surrounded by a frilly, yellow-petaled mini crown. Quirky, right? We love her.

While we do not begrudge the cheerful and iconic yellow-petaled varieties, classics for a reason, we are loving the many different shades of these unexpected Sunflowers.

Includes three young plants, grown in 2.5" diameter pots.

Growing Info

How to Plant	Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water
Where to Plant	Find a place that gets a decent amount of sun, with well-draining soil
When to Plant	Plant outside in the late spring, once the soil has warmed up. Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon
When to Expect Blooms	Mid-summer through frost
Care Instructions	Water regularly until they get established, and then give them extra water during dry spells.
