Description
A special blend of the shorter varieties of sunflower, with nothing growing much taller than 5 – 6 feet (1.5 - 1.8 metres); but what they do all have are really large flowers of superior quality in a range of quite distinctive types from pale yellow, bright yellow, orange and red zoned; a mix of five distinct choice varieties.
Really cheerful and a plant loved by children because of their rate of growth and size of flower. Come the Autumn and Winter the flower heads become fantastic pre-filled bird seed holders too, it's great fun to watch the birds eat the seeds!
