Sunflower - Giant Yellow Single - Helianthus annuus - Cottage Garden Flower

This is the traditional tall yellow sunflower with large flowers in August and a lovely plant for children to grow.

Loved by bees and other pollinating insects and the seed heads can be hung up for wild birds and mammals to feed from.

If your local wildlife are likely to eat the seeds or young plants,  (mice, voles, slugs etc.) they can be sown into biodegradable pots under glass and planted out when larger.

When the sunflowers start to get tall support the stem by tying it loosely to a cane or pole.

Sunflowers provide food for the following creatures: 

• Hoverflies
• Bees
• Butterflies
• Small mammals such as Woodmice and Voles
• Birds such as Tits and Finches
• 🦇 (RHS)

• An "RHS Plants for Pollinators" plant **

All our seed packets include sowing instructions.

Jemima’s Garden seeds are plastic free and reyclable. They’re contained in an inner glassine envelope, (made from pine wood cellulose), and an outer Kraft paper seed packet. Any shipping packaging is also plastic free and recyclable.
