Product description

Sunflower ‘Tall Cutting Mix’ is a vibrant blend of multicoloured, medium-sized single blooms, perfect for creating cheerful summer borders and cut flower arrangements. With heights ranging from 100–150cm, this hardy annual mix offers a variety of shapes and colours, making it ideal for pick-your-own sunflower patches or lively garden displays. The colourful flowers resemble large daisies and are loved by pollinators and children alike.

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 and plant the seeds 2cm deep. 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 30cm apart to give each plant room to shine. Flowers come into bloom from 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 exposed areas, and deadheading spent flowers can extend the display. Sunflower ‘Tall Cutting Mix’ is easy to grow, perfect for adding height, colour, and wildlife appeal to the garden, and can be used to create exquisite indoor vase displays.
