Benefit:

Enjoys infertile soils

Characteristics:

As the name suggests, this single-stemmed variety will give you a huge yellow flower sometimes up to 30 cm in diameter and whose flowering lasts until autumn. Sunflowers with their bright colors and long flowering will embellish your tall massifs and other flowering groups.

Height: 2m

Soil tip:

They appreciate soils that are infertile, moist, fresh but well drained, alkaline neutral.

Deco ideas:

Cut your sunflowers at the beginning of their flowering to form impressive bouquets. In your garden, associate them with eschscholtzias, cosmos, dahlias, suns and zinnias.

The stages of sowing:

Sow from Mars to June in the open ground on the fly or in lines 50 to 80 cm apart. Trim the soil to lightly push the seeds and water.

As you grow, thin the smallest plants and leave only one sunflower every 50 to 80 cm.
