Description
A statuesque and elegant sunflower with petals the most delicious mix of soft colours, dusky crimson and café-au-lait. This was one of my favourite new discoveries in our recent trials.
The calorie-rich seeds of Helianthus annuus can be eaten raw or roasted and added to salad and vegetable dishes for flavour and texture. Perfect for snacking on too.
Care Tips
Sunflowers are hungry feeders. Improve the soil before planting out with plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost. Water your sunflower plants regularly. You will need to stake them if they’re in an exposed position.
