SUNFLOWER ZOHAR
NOMINATED CUT FLOWER OF THE YEAR 2007 BY ASCFG

American Society cut flower grower’s nominated cut flower, Sunflower Orange Glory (’Genesis Seeds’ Sunflower Zohar) for the "ASCFG Cut Flower of the Year 2007."

*Quote from: 2007 ASCFG Cut magazine,
John Dole, North Carolina State University page 3. Vol. 20, No 1, 2007:

"Sunflowers are an important species for specialty cut flower growers and thus, an annual topic in this report. This year two cultivars were included: Orange Glory (Zohar) and Tosca, both with orange petals and dark centers. Both cultivars performed well, with Orange Glory (Zohar) doing slightly better in the ratings, enough so that it was nominated for the ASCFG Cut Flower of the Year..."

""...Orange Glory, (Fred C. Gloeckner)(ZOHAR) Good qualities: Nice color (2); Good head size (2); OK sunflower; Single stem, later to bloom, Nice disc size; A nice sunflower, but...; Very tall, so can cut at the needed length; Very drought tolerant, tolerant of severe weather (wind and hail damage); Standard orange cultivar; Excellent sunflower, this is probably going to be among our favorites, very uniform days to harvest, cut all of them in about 8-9 Day span, beautiful flowers can cut tight and they open very nice! Did well mid and late (October) season; It did compare to Sunrich Orange and was a little earlier, flowers held well and it was really difficult to tell the difference between this one and Sunrich Orange; Great color and form, pollen less, very stout stems, nice height, quick to flower, all came on at once! Excellent vase life! Customers loved it … "
