& Sunflower Pikes Peak 1 Seed Packet

When it comes to sunflowers, Pike's Peak stands out as a substantial variety, perhaps not towering like Giraffe, but its sturdy stem negates the need for support, making it perfect for more exposed locations. It produces large, golden flowers that eventually yield giant seeds—a delight for birds! Blooms from July to September. Height: 4.6m (15').Growing Information:Easy to cultivate and a hit with children, these flowers resemble oversized daisies with brightly coloured petals. Sow seeds thinly, burying them 1.3cm (½") deep directly into finely raked, moist, warm, and weed-free soil where they are intended to bloom. Germination typically occurs within 10-15 days. As seedlings develop, gradually thin them to achieve a final spacing of 30cm (12"). For earlier flowering, start seeds indoors in late February-March, transferring them into 9cm (3½") pots, and acclimatizing them before planting outdoors after the threat of frost has passed. Features: Pike's Peak sunflowers feature a robust stem that eliminates the need for staking, making them ideal for exposed garden locations Enjoy large, vibrant golden flowers that create a stunning display from July to September, adding bright colour to your garden After blooming, Pike's Peak produces giant seeds that attract and nourish local birds, making them a fantastic addition to any wildlife-friendly garden Supplied as a Seed Packet - seed count approx Specifications: Weight: 1.0 kg Guarantee:N/A Model Number: 133157
