Helianthus 'Golden Glory'

Good Qualities

Beautiful golden color of petals with typical sunflower brown center (6); Large flower heads (2); Last to flower, flower is a good size, not too large; Uniform bloom time; Nice bloom, stems were easier to strip than other varieties; Very strong stem; Nice size disc; Thinner stems, flower head at less than 90°F, slightly longer petals with up to 8 inch heads; Strong stems, very well accepted, nice size flower heads; Shorter plants than many other cultivars; Sturdy stem, pollenless, customers love this type at our market; Good vertical stand for petals; Uniform height and flower consistent in size; Nice flower.

Problems

Poor germination (5); Stems too thick (3); No problems (2); Rust; Seedlings “spiraled” at soil level, most didn’t live to get in the ground; 18 to 24 inches total height, very small blooms; Rain and handling damaged petals, customers would not buy too large flower and stem; Pollen; A little taller than average, a reach to pick; Didn’t like the way the petals didn’t open, they seemed short, would like a taller sunflower; Did not perform well for me (Zone 6b); Staggered blooming, cutting at longer stem lengths would include buds too immature; Too big a center and too short of eyelashes; Too large for cuts; Hit by disease, didn’t fully recover head is heavy.

Comments

Similar to ‘Sunrich Orange’ (2); Germination was poor, about 50%, transplants had very weak necks; Spotty germination due to dry conditions; Sold the seed heads; We only grow pollenless sunflowers; I prefer ‘Full Sun’; Bloomed late into season, height of plant, easy to cut; Do we need more sunflowers for outdoor field production?; Thrips loved it; Kind of an unremarkable sunflower; Began blooming 9/17, a week after ‘Full Sun’, but still not much more than 2 months after planting; Won’t replace Sunrich; Slightly smaller flower than ‘Sunrich Orange’, nice for bouquet use, liked by customers at farmers market; Needs work; One trialer’s results:
