Thompson and Morgan Sunflower Helios Flame F1 Seeds

Set borders ablaze with Thompson and Morgan Sunflower Helios Flame F1 Seeds that produce tall, golden blooms with striking mahogany rings, adding dramatic colour and height to garden displays. Helios Flame F1 sunflowers thrive in full sun, reaching up to 180cm, and bring life to wildlife gardens while making stunning cut flowers with a long vase life. Supplied with clear care instructions so you’ll find them easy to grow and enjoy both visually and as a healthy snack if you toast the kernels. Direct-sow sunflower seeds outdoors where they are to grow from April to May. Choose a position in full sun on well-drained soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Sow seeds thinly, at a depth of one centimetre in drills spaced 45cm apart and cover seed with its own depth of soil to exclude light. Water the ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes up to 21 days. When sunflower seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to 30cm apart. Product specifications: Position: Full Sun. Height: Up to 180cm when fully established. Spread: Up to 50cm when fully established. Flowering period: July to September. Delivered with growing and care instructions. Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary results.
