Description

RHS Plants for PollinatorsThe perfect seed packet for those on a bit of a budget! Excellent as a gift, wedding favour, promotional item, kids party bag gift etc.  The seed packet is made from slightly opaque glassine paper and measures approximately 8.5 x 11.4 cm.  The sticker on the front is recycled.  As the packets can’t be printed on, there are no sowing instructions on the back – but sowing is very easy (see below)! If using for business, we cannot print a logo on the packets.

Sunflower seeds are fantastic for bees when flowering and for the birds when flowering is over.  Sunflowers (helianthus annuus) are annual flowers and need very little description – there is no mistaking their big yellow flowers!  They are heliotropic, which means that they turn their flowers to follow the movement of the Sun across the sky east to west; they return to face the east again at night.  Once the flowers have gone over in late summer, leave the seedheads on to provide a feast for the birds in autumn, or cut them off and tie to your bird feeders.

Summer

All sorts of heights, some as high as 2 metres or more!

Annual

Full sun

Yellow!

Fill small pots with compost (preferably peat-free!) and poke a sunflower seed into the pot.  Make sure it is covered with compost and water as required.  When you have small sunflower plants, transfer them into the garden after frosts are over and plant in full sun.  You may need to stake the plants as they grow taller, to avoid them bending over.

The maximum time to do orders is 14 days, plus the delivry time.  So please do factor that timescale in when ordering.  If you need your order sooner, we do have contingency to allow for getting urgent orders done sooner, but you must email or phone us.  Please do not mention any timescale requirements on your order form – this message won’t be seen until we get to your order and, by then, it might be too late!  Full delivery info can be read here.
