Sunflower Seeds
Sunflowers seeds (Helianthus) are ideal for wildlife gardens, beginners and children to grow. They’re hardy annuals and are quick-growing and reliable. They can range from knee-high dwarf varieties to the huge Giant Russian, which can reach 15ft (4.5m) - the one to grow for the tallest sunflower competitions. Flowers reach up to 30cm/12in across with yellow petals and dark brownish centres in the classic single stem, tall varieties. Colours range from pale lemon petals through yellow, orange, terracotta, burgundy and deep red, with the contrasting central disc.
