Thompson & Morgan Sunflower Tanja F1 Hybrid

The highest quality sunflowers! Ready to flower within just 12 weeks of sowing; can be sown directly outdoors too! A premium cut flower, plants make many side branches, so you’ll have an endless supply!

How to sow

Sow thinly, 12mm (½in) deep in drills 45cm (18in) apart in well cultivated soil raked to a fine tilth or direct into small containers. Germination takes around 21 days. When large enough to handle, thin to 30-45cm (12-18in) apart. For earlier flowering sow indoors, individually in 7.5cm (3in) pots at 20-25C (68-77F). When well grown, gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions before planting out after all risk of frost into borders or containers.

Aftercare information

The green buds before the flower opens are delicious cooked in butter, the nutty flavoured petals add colour contrast to salads, and ripe seeds make a tasty snack.
