Mr Fothergills Seeds Oh Sow Simple Sunflower Giant

- A hardy annual, flowers the same year as sown
- Easy, fast growing with huge heads on giant stems
- A favourite with children - who can grow the tallest?

Leave the dead flower heads to attract and help feed the wild birds in the autumn. Easy to grow but if garden pests are a problem start seeds indoors.

SOW OUTDOORS: Where they are to flower, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Sow two seeds together every 45cm. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Remove the weaker plant, which can be transplanted if desired. Water well until young plants are established.

SOW INDOORS: 1.5cm deep, individually in pots of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or greenhouse. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 45cm apart.
