First produced in the 1980s, Sunshine® mixes are peat-based blends with various combinations of perlite or vermiculite. Depending upon the specific formulation, the mixes may include dolomitic lime, nutrients and a wetting agent. Various soilless mix aggregates such as perlite and vermiculite are also sold under the Sunshine label. We also provide pure Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss, for growers who like to mix their own, or we can create a custom blend to perfectly match your growing needs.
Sunshine products are produced under the industry’s highest quality standards and designed to meet the unique needs of the crops growers produce while fitting into their flow of operations. They are offered in either compressed or loose-fill packaging in a variety of sizes, from the easy-to-handle 3.8 cubic foot bale to the economy-sized Big Shots or Sun Tower.
