Sunflower

Sunflowers

A striking tall variety with huge 13cm golden-yellow to orange heads and a rich chocolate-brown centre. Perfect for cut flowers or adding a bold splash to your garden, this non-branching sunflower grows strong and straight, making a stunning focal point.

Harvest

July to October — pick just before the petals fully open for the best display.

Growing Instructions

• Planting: 15cm apart in firm, well-drained soil.
• Watering: Keep soil moist until plants are established.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced feed every couple of weeks during flowering.
• Support: Stake plants once flower heads start to form, as they can become top-heavy.

Top Tips

• Sunlight: Plant in a sunny spot for the tallest, strongest stems.
• Space: Give each plant enough room to avoid overcrowding.
• Deadhead Carefully: Pick flowers before petals fully open for cut blooms.
• Feeding Boost: Extra feed during flowering encourages bigger, more vibrant heads.
