The classic good looks of the Suncredible® Saturn™ Sunflower will immediately bring to mind images of warm, sunny days. This plant, also known as Helianthus, reaches heights of 36 inches, blooms throughout the spring, summer, and fall, and features yellow and brown blooms that measure 4 inches across. This variety has a long bloom cycle and typically will have flowers for several weeks longer than other varieties of Sunflower. It is excellent for cut flowers.
The Suncredible® Saturn™ Sunflower is native to North America, more specifically Missouri. The height makes this plant a great option for the back of a flower bed or along a fence, or in a planter, and while it can make an excellent focal point, it also can be used to create a spectacular mass planting. This plant is stunning on its own, but it is known to attract bees and butterflies for added fun and enjoyment. This easy-care plant is heat- and drought-tolerant and deer- and disease-resistant.
Suncredible® Saturn™ Sunflower Plant Care
As the name implies, Sunflowers enjoy lots of sunlight, and the Suncredible® Saturn™ Sunflower needs at least 6 hours of full sun to reach its full potential. This plant has average water needs, so wait until the top 3 inches of the soil dry out before watering. Well-draining somewhat alkaline soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5 is ideal. Amend the soil with organic material when planting or use a slow-release fertilizer to support the rapid growth. Feed the plant again in the middle of the summer to support continuous blooms.
This plant grows as a perennial in USDA growing zones 9, 10, and 11. In all other areas, it is grown as an annual. Spent flowers can be removed to maintain a clean appearance and promote new growth. Strong wind can damage the plant, so select an area not prone to high winds or protected by buildings or other plants.
Suncredible® Saturn™ Sunflower Plant Spacing
This upright plant can grow to 24 to 36 inches, making it a great way to add color and height to a garden area or planter. Plants should be spaced 18 to 24 inches apart, so each Sunflower has the room it needs to thrive.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
