Size

Helianthus annuus

Giant Single is a classic tall Sunflower producing enormous golden-yellow flowers with broad petals surrounding a large central disc. Fast growing and impressive, the towering plants create a spectacular feature in productive gardens, along fences and at the back of garden beds.

The large flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, while mature seed heads provide an excellent food source for seed-eating birds. This variety also produces oil-rich seed with a high proportion of monounsaturated fats and has good resistance to rust.

Sunflowers thrive in warm weather and full sun and are remarkably easy to grow. Plants develop substantial root systems and perform best in fertile, well-drained soil with regular moisture while establishing. Their height makes them particularly fun for children’s gardens and growing competitions.

Approximately 30 seeds per packet

Planting / Sowing
