Giant flowers. Fun to grow

From sowing to flowering in 12 weeks. The classic 'Giant' sunflower has golden yellow flowers and big, strong and tall stems. Give plenty of space, food and moisture to get the maximum size.

• How To Sow: Choose a sheltered, well drained site in full sun. Sow these seeds directly in a well prepared seedbed. Sow 2-3 seeds in groups 40 cm apart and to a depth of 1 cm. Seedling Care: Keep the seedbed or trays evenly moist during the germination period (7-14 days). Apply fruit or flower fertiliser two weeks after germination for healthier plants and maximum crop. Protect your seedlings from slugs, snails and insect pests; go to mcgregors.co.nz for appropriate plant health and pest control products.Hints and Tips: Can grow up to 3 metres tall, so will need staking or protection from the wind.
