Sunflower (Organic) Seeds – Small Yellow Flower

Sunflower (small flower yellow) is a well-branched sunflower with lots of flowers. The yellow flowers have dark hearts and are quite small. This sunflower is suited as a cut flower and is a bee and butterfly magnet. Frequent picking stimulates longer flowering. Flowers August-September. Height 150-200cm (59-79″); spread 70-80cm (27-31″).

Culinary tip: This flower is edible. Edible flowers are always best when picked fresh from the garden. They’ll taste even better if you can pick them early in the morning before they’ve had too much sun.

Sow the seed thinly direct into finely raked, moist, warm, weed-free soil where the plants are to flower, 13mm (½”) deep, raking in lightly (Germination 7-21 days). As the seedlings grow thin in stages to achieve a final spacing of 30-45cm (12-18″). Support the plants as they develop. Alternatively sow indoors in April, carefully acclimatising plants to outside conditions and plant out mid-late May.
