Sunflowers are wonderfully easy to grow and a great choice for adding height and colour to the garden. Give them a sunny spot, plenty of water while they establish and a little support for taller varieties.
Sow seeds individually in small pots from March, or sow directly outside once the soil has warmed in late spring. Keep young plants somewhere bright and protect them from slugs and snails.
Plant sunflowers outside after the risk of hard frost has passed. Choose a sunny position with reasonably fertile, well-drained soil and give larger varieties plenty of room to develop.
Water regularly during dry weather, particularly while plants are young and as flower buds develop. Tall varieties may need tying to a sturdy cane or support, especially in exposed gardens.
