SUNFLOWER – Double Dazzler (10 Seeds)

Helianthus annuus

Description: A cut flower/florist type Pollenless sunflower. Main flower is up to 20cm in diameter.  Only 70cm tall so doesn’t use up and much resources as the larger sunflower.

• Height: 70cm
• Flower heads: Single Stem, Pollenless
• Germination: 3-7 days, temp above 18oC
• Sowing: 1cm deep. Start in pots or direct in ground (if snails and birds are not an issue)
• Spacing: 50 – 60cm apart
• Soil fertility: Rich compost filled, well-draining soil. Sunflowers have a high potassium requirement and ensure your soil is not boron deficient.

Growing Tips: Water deeply occasionally rather than regular short sprinkles.  Concentrate water towards the base of the plant rather than the leaves to avoid disease issues. Add plenty of blood n bone and compost when planting.
