Helianthus annuus 'Ms Mars' reviews
Disappointed
Reviewed 4th August 2017 by J. Alexander This looked an unusual sunflower, so I decided to try it. It wasn't until afterwards that I realised it wasn't very tall, but that was my mistake! It grew well, very strong, but the head is also very small for a sunflower, so I was rather disappointed....To top it all, it wasn't even a pinky colour - which was what attracted me to this unusual sunflower in the first place! Mine has come out a rather dull faded mustard! An ordinary sunflower would have been more cheery! Reply from the Sarah Raven Team:"Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
