Description / 'Italian White' Sunflower Seeds

The 'Italian White' Sunflower seamlessly marries the grandeur of giant sunflowers with the lush, branched habit of petite, daisy-like varieties, offering an exquisite aesthetic for both garden landscapes and floral arrangements. This variety is celebrated for its striking blooms, each measuring 4 inches across, adorned with creamy yellow and slightly ruffled white petals encircling a deep chocolate center. These elegant white sunflowers stand on single stems, elevating any garden scene or vase with their sophisticated charm.

Thriving as a backdrop or as a standalone feature, the 'Italian White' Sunflower plants reach heights of 5 to 7 feet tall, presenting a splendid vision at the rear of a border or beside structures, where their creamy blooms can act as a temporary screen or hedge. Not only do these white sunflowers excel in aesthetics, but their resilience in dry soils and their ability to produce a bountiful number of blooms across an extended season make them a generous contributor to any gardener's bouquet collection.

Growing white sunflowers like the 'Italian White' variety is a straightforward delight. These sun-loving plants ask for nothing more than a sunny spot in the garden and a simple direct sowing of seeds post-frost. They aren't fussy about soil and prefer spacing of 2 to 4 feet apart to flourish and display their full, leafy glory. The 'Italian White' Sunflower is a testament to the effortless beauty and bountiful growth that sunflowers bring to the natural summer garden, attracting an array of butterflies and birds to your outdoor oasis.

'Italian White' Sunflower invites you to bring a touch of elegance and resilience to your garden. Whether you're looking to create a serene backdrop or fill your home with striking, long-stemmed bouquets, these white sunflowers promise a garden filled with creamy yellow luminosity and graceful charm.

    Love them! 2 people found this helpful

    I planted these as a backdrop in my large flower garden. I read that they make a tall, bushy border and they didn't disappoint! I took nice pictures of them but I can't add it to this review :(. A red squirrel also enjoyed them by climbing the stems and eating the seeds (little bugger...), but he didn't completely destroy them. Some of these got to be about 6' tall and they had LOTS of blooms. They were more of a pale yellow than "white." I'm planting them again this year because they were so successful last year!

    Here's how to brighten your garden 3 people found this helpful

    I love these Italian sunflowers. I plant them year round where I live in my front yard (direct sow into clay soil). This year was warm so they even made it through the winter without dying. All of my neighbors have asked me what they are, cause they're hard to miss at 5 feet tall. They really brighten a landscape and are visible at street level. Suggest if you live in a desert like me to sprinkle them amonst the cactus and ocotillo. Very low maintenance (mine are on a drip and I've never fertilized them). I deadhead them about once a week to promote growth and so they look prettier.

    Tolerant of Dry Soils is an Understatement! 3 people found this helpful

    I picked up a packet of these off a rack last season, thinking it'd be nice to have a line of them at the property edge. The edge is off what we call 'the cliff' an area that is hard to mow, difficult to walk on, and impossible to irrigate. Oh, and did I mention it has horrible clay soil? While I didn't get my spectacular line of sunflowers because rabbits ate partway down the line like a freaking buffet, the ones they did leave bloomed all season and through a light frost or two. They did this despite being planted late and slightly rootbound from their six packs, and having suffered both drying out on surprise sunny days and being soggy most days in the wet spring. Then the drought hit in summer and they baked all summer with scant rain and no irrigation because the hose (and I) could not reach all the way down the cliff. Still, they bloomed their hearts out. These things are dang near bomb proof!

    I planted one every 5 feet along a fence with maybe 60% sun. Very happy with the results.

    Mine were not white, more like a very light pastel yellow, yet soooooo beautiful.. and several sunflowers per plant. All seeds germinated outdoors on the ground, very sturdy and does not require much watering. Definitely one of my favorites now :)
