Plant Information
Suncredible® Saturn™
Helianthus
Offers bright yellow blooms with an orange ring and brown center. It is built on a well-branched bush-like habit that is perfect for the back of the bed, as an annual screen or along a fence. The blooms are about 4 in. across and do not need to be deadheaded to continue blooming. This plant blooms several-weeks longer than similar sunflowers due to its semi indeterminate to determinate habit. It is heat and drought tolerant, attracts pollinators and resists deer.

| Uses |
Great in landscapes and containers. It is well-suited to growing at the back of garden beds or along fences. Makes a great cutflower. |
| Maintenance Notes |
Great in average and rich soils, but also capable of growing in poorer soils and tolerant of dry conditions once established. A controlled release fertilizer application at the time of planting should be sufficient for the summer, however, a second application of controlled release fertilizer applied in mid-summer should increase bloom number and keep the plant producing longer. A great home cut flower. |
