HELIANTHUS ANNUUS

Special varieties with unique features are bred in southern Italy by an historical breeding house, established in 1870, Farao Seeds in Sarno.

Their Sunflower varieties represent the excellence of the market and are available only in limited quantities for very selected, top notch growers. In particular, day-length independent varieties which produce outstanding quality in winter represent a significant innovation and a very good option for flower growers who can produce and sell flowers in winter time with almost no energy cost.

We are pleased and honoured for having been granted by Farao the opportunity to distribute their seed specialties worldwide.
