- Description Description Helianthus annuus

Originally a cross between skyscraper and Giant Russian, we have grown this variety for 10 years. These sunflowers are immensely tall at an average 3 meters and the heads grow up to 40cm. The stalks grow super thick and need staking so that they do not fall over in the wind.

A fabulous crop for children to grow, sunflowers can be planted in a circle to make a cool nature playhouse and teepee for beans or cucumbers to grow up. Sunflowers also provide much needed food for the bees and excellent carbon for the compost. Growing Conditions
