Product description
Sunflower ‘Moonwalker’ is a tall, striking variety that brings bold structure and golden colour to summer gardens. With bright, soft-yellow blooms perched on strong, upright stems, this sunflower reaches impressive heights of up to 3 metres, making it ideal for the back of borders or as a dramatic focal point. Loved by pollinators and perfect for cutting, it’s a summer showstopper with real presence.
Sow seeds indoors from March to April or directly outdoors from April to May once the soil has warmed. Choose a sunny, open spot with well-drained soil. If starting indoors, sow into pots or trays, cover lightly with compost, and keep at around 20°C. Harden off seedlings before planting out from May to June, spacing them 30–45cm apart to give each plant room to shine. Flowers come into bloom July to September.
Water Sunflowers regularly during dry spells, especially while the plants are young and establishing. Once they’re growing well, they’re fairly drought-tolerant, but consistent moisture will help produce taller stems and larger blooms. Support may be needed in windy areas, and deadheading spent flowers can extend the display.
