Sunflower 5.71 Akatsuka 2023
5.71 m in 2023, from the French record line (7.10 m).
From €20Why this price?
This sunflower reached 5.71 m in 2023. It comes from the same line and the same season as my French height record (7.10 m): seeds from the record plant germinate below 60%, so I’d rather offer you these.
⭑ Elite Line — very limited stock (a few seeds per season). For serious growers only.
