Supplied as compost block grown plants.
Available from APPROXIMATELY mid MayIf you fancy growing sunflowers but just don't have the room, False Sunflower 'Burning Hearts' might be the answer to your problem. The large yellow and red daisy-like flowers look remarkably like sunflowers, but at 48" (120 cm) tall, with a spread of 18 - 24" (45-60 cm), this plant is ideal for the smaller garden. Add to that the unusual purple tinted leaves and stems, and False Sunflower 'Burning Hearts' is guaranteed to be a talking point in your garden.
It flowers prolifically from July to October, and is unsurprisingly happy in full sun, in average soil. Deadhead for constant blooms throughout the summer. Cut back in the spring for bushier growth. On top of that, this hardy perennial is drought-tolerant, resistant to deer and rabbits, and has a high salt tolerance so is ideal for coastal gardens.
Recognised to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
