Product description

Sunflower 'Giant Single' is a robust and towering annual that produces large, vivid yellow blooms atop sturdy stems. Reaching heights of up to 3 metres, these sunflowers are perfect for adding vertical interest and a splash of bright colour to any garden. The large flower heads, filled with nectar, are also a magnet for bees and butterflies, making them an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. These sunflowers are not only visually stunning but also highly productive, offering seeds that can be harvested and enjoyed as a nutritious snack.

Sowing Sunflower Giant Single seeds is straightforward. For the best results, sow seeds directly outdoors from March to May, after the danger of frost has passed. Plant the seeds in well-drained soil in a sunny location, ensuring they are spaced about 45cm apart to give them room to grow. Once the seedlings are established, they will require regular watering, especially during dry periods, to support their rapid growth. As the sunflowers grow taller, it may be necessary to stake them to provide support and prevent the stems from bending or breaking.

Harvesting Sunflower Giant Single seeds is a rewarding process. Wait until the flower heads have matured, and the back of the head has turned brown, indicating that the seeds are ready to be collected. Cut the heads off and allow them to dry in a cool, dry place. Once dry, you can easily remove the seeds by rubbing the flower heads. These seeds can be stored for future planting, used as a healthy snack, or left out to attract birds to your garden. With proper care and attention, Sunflower Giant Single will bring both beauty and bounty to your outdoor space.
