Sunbird Sunflowers

This flower is the symbol of summer and often the flower children draw from a young age.

These happy flowers in a beautifully illustrated packet are the perfect gift for young and old. Sunflowers are hardy plants, so good for everyone including children to grow.

The classic sunbird sunflowers bloom in the heat of summer and grow over two metres tall. They are loved by bees and birds including King Parrots love these flowers for the seeds (if you’re lucky). Sow seeds in spring in a sunny, wind-protected spot in ordinary garden soil.

Sunflowers offer incredible health benefits and you can eat many parts of the plant: the seeds; petals in salads; and new shoots as microgreens.

Buy this as seed pack as a gift to yourself (and the bees) or as a light-weight pack to send in the post. These packs make great gifts for birthdays, as a Christmas stocking-filler for the kids, to cheer someone up or just to delight someone you love.
