Growing Info: Start early inside March-April. Sow in pots of seed compost 15mm deep, and keep moist.

Keep moist until established. |

Aftercare: The sunflower seeds are edible. To harvest, wrap the seedhead with garden fleece to protect seeds from local wildlife. Or cut the head as it finishes flowering and bring inside to dry. |
