Excellent for the back of borders, ideal for children to grow and birds love the seeds and will feed from the flower heads in the autumn.

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. Try toasting the seed kernels for a healthy snack. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Companion planting: Try growing sunflowers with chives to deter aphids.

Sowing
Where to sow: Outdoors where they are to flower.
Preparation: Prepare the ground by raking until it is fine and crumbly, removing any large stones.
Sowing: Sow thinly, 12mm (1/2in) deep in drills 45cm (18in).
