Harris sells Vincent's Choice and describes it as less day length sensitive. I'm glad you mentioned sunflowers being day length dependent. I don't know how long my fall sunflowers will keep blooming. I still sold all that I took yesterday, even though they were bug-eaten and not exactly my best work. I even sold a few of the zinnias on the right. That is one of the Zahara series from Harris. Selling annuals in mid-August in zone 6 is a crazy enough idea that no one else is trying it, so I am pretty much the only one at market with blooming flowers. I think I saw some butterfly weed go by in a customer's hand, but for the most part, perennials have finished blooming by this time in the season.
