Your roses are superb in this summer.I have not seen any other variety that can match Sundial.its flowering time is longest.i have even seen it blooming in night hours under tube light.This year i am trying the perrenial type.i have some 5 colors this season.

I think sowed it bit late thats why flower size and height are smaller(still large enough to normal one)

Sir when did you sowed them ?? any pest problems encountered ?

[Farhan Ahmed]

Flower size in sunflowers in proportional to nutrients also

Tahir sb probably sowed in first week of april not know the exact date.
Looking quite resistant to pests and diseases(No pest problems encountered).

Sunflowers sown in Late Jan/ Feb attain max size.

Hmmm... i will try sunflower teddy bear a dwarf variety this season, can i sow it in fall i.e. August - September

[Farhan Ahmed]

No. But you can start as early as January at a frost sheltered spot. They can be planted out as early as late January. Germination 4-5 Days. Avoid root disturbance.

Great, i will direct sow them under plastic covering or shade what ever would be possible. Thanks

Update of 'Red Edin'.
Performed good in heat and good start too in humidity. Showing good resistance to summer and rainy season diseases. Not any symtoms of black spots,blight and other fungus relevant diseases till now .

With slight decrease in temp, the flower improved in size.
