Sunflower Seeds - Garden Statement
Packet content 20 seeds. Dark-centred, lemon-yellow, semi-double flowers on multi-branching stems throughout the summer. Garden Statement sunflowers look very cheerful in the border, but will also last well in a vase after being cut.
Sowing Period: February to June
Harvesting/Flowering Period: July to September
The flowers are said to be edible, the buds tasting like artichokes, while the petals have a bittersweet flavour. Flowers late June-September.
Easy to grow, sunflowers have always been a real favourite with younger gardeners. Producing flowers like very large daisies with brightly coloured petals, they make a striking addition to any garden.
