Sow a pollen-free sunflower seed if you’re prone to hayfever or opt for a dwarf variety to fill your balcony with cheer. These flowers really do pack the warmth of the sun into their petals. To help you arrive at the best choice of sunflower for your space, here are the answers to some helpful FAQs.
Not all sunflowers are single stemmed. Varieties like sunflower 'Solar Flash' F1 Hybrid produce multiple flower heads from one stem. ‘Solar Flash’ is notable for its bi-colour blooms in chocolate and honey, which also boast pollen-free centres meaning they’re ideal for gardeners with hay fever.
Sunflower 'Lemon Cutie' F1 is another pollen-free bloom with starburst petals reminiscent of a dahlia flower. These bushy plants grow to knee-height with masses of blooms per plant. They’re perfect in pots or lining the edge of a path where the sea of yellow can be properly enjoyed.
For a huge flower head, you can’t go wrong with a sunflower ‘Russian Giant’. Expect to see dinner-plate-sized flower heads atop single stems that reach up to 3m in height. The enormous flower heads produce huge numbers of seeds, the perfect high-energy snack for hungry birds.
The tallest sunflowers are the single-stemmed types. ‘Russian Giant’ reaches an unbelievable height of 3m in the right position. It’s very important to provide adequate support for your tall sunflowers as they grow. A wall or strong stake keeps the stems from snapping in the wind.
Sunflower maximiliani is a garden designer’s dream. Featuring hundreds of small yellow flower heads, all of which are pollen and nectar-rich to entice the bees into the garden, this unique sunflower has an attractive habit reminiscent of rudbeckia. Maximiliani is a self-seeder so expect to see extra plantlets popping up around your original the following year. Read our guide to learn how to add more bee-friendly plants to your garden.
