Sunflower

🌻 Bold & Sun-Loving

Sunflowers are the undisputed giants of the summer garden, bringing unmatched height, energy, and cheer to any landscape. Whether you choose massive, single-stem varieties for impressive stature or multi-branching types for an abundance of smaller blooms, these iconic flowers are a must-have for creating focal points and attracting pollinators throughout the season.

• Growing: Thrive in full sun and require deep, fertile, and well-draining soil. They are fast-growing and appreciate protection from extremely high, damaging winds.

• Sowing: Direct sow once the soil has warmed in late spring. They develop deep taproots and dislike being disturbed, so direct seeding is best. Space according to the variety to ensure adequate airflow and room for development.

• Care: Keep well-watered during dry spells, especially as the plants grow rapidly. Taller varieties may require staking to keep them upright and secure throughout the season.

• Blooming: Provides a spectacular, long-lasting display from mid-summer until the first autumn frost.

Add a dramatic, sunny statement to your garden—select your favourite variety and enjoy these hardworking, magnificent icons!
