Sunflower - Bambino - Helianthus annuus - 100 g - Small sunlike blooms for borders - Fresh Seeds

Sunflower Bambino (Helianthus annuus) is a charming dwarf variety that brings bright colour and a cheerful look to smaller spaces. Its strong yellow flowers with a dark brown centre resemble little suns, lighting up borders, pots and window boxes. Plants grow to about 30 to 40 cm tall, making them ideal for containers and low flower beds. Bambino flowers for a long time from spring through to the first cooler days of autumn, giving a steady display. It is also nectar rich, attracting bees and butterflies, and once the seeds ripen they provide a natural food source for birds.

Sowing depth

Sow Sunflower Bambino seeds to a depth of about 1 cm. This helps maintain steady moisture and supports quick germination.

Sowing time outdoors

Sow outdoors from April to June, once the soil has warmed and the risk of frost is minimal. This timing supports strong, even growth.

Sowing time under cover

Under cover, seeds can be sown from December to April. This allows you to raise earlier plants, which can be transplanted to their final position after 2 to 3 weeks.

Spacing

Keep a spacing of about 10 x 20 cm. This gives each plant enough room to develop properly, so flowers can open fully without competing for light and nutrients.

Flowering period

Sunflower Bambino flowers continuously from May to October. It blends well with low perennials and annuals, adding warmth and energy to mixed plantings.

Growing

This variety performs best in full sun, as more light supports stronger flower colour. Grow in fertile, free draining soil that stays moderately moist. You can start sowing in small pots to produce sturdy seedlings, then transplant after 2 to 3 weeks into the ground or larger containers. Sunflower Bambino is easy to grow and suitable for beginners. Spent flower heads can be left on the plant so they can provide food for birds in autumn and winter.
