Ornamental sunflower (Helianthus annuus) - a medium-tall variety with semi-double flowers - produces bright, warm, cheerful blooms that look like the summer sun. A ring of bright yellow petals look like sun rays, no wonder that the name of this plant is associated with our star in almost all languages. The selection offered here consists of varieties with extremely decorative, semi-double flowers in different shades of yellow. These medium-tall plants may grow 100 - 150 cm tall. They look particularly well planted in larger groupings on border backgrounds. They create great covers planted alongside fences or house walls and will introduce rustic, idyllic flair to every garden. Sunflowers will attract butterflies, bumblebees, bees and other useful insects. These very durable flowers fit well into vases and will bring sun into your home.

Sunflowers, as the name suggests, need full exposure to sun to grow properly. They prefer fertile, moist, yet permeable soil with a high content of organic matter. Soil type does not really matter to them, as they will grow both on sandy and clay soils. They are propagated by direct sowing into the ground. Spring and beginning of summer is the ideal time for sowing sunflowers. Each package contains 3 g of the medium tall, semi-double-flowered ornamental sunflower seeds. The package information contains a growing guide and the sow-by date.
