Mr Fothergills Sunflower Kong F1 20 Seeds

Sunflower - Kong F1

This is probably the tallest, multi-stemmed sunflower you can grow, reaching the height of 420cm! The branching habit provides lots of blooms per plant and gives a longer flowering period than more traditional 'giants'. Great for backs of borders and competitions to grow the tallest!

Sow outdoors, from March to May, where they are to flower, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Sow two seeds together every 45cm. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Remove the weaker plant, which can be transplanted if desired. Water well until young plants are established. Or sow indoors, from March to May, 1.5cm deep, individually in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or greenhouse. Keep the compost moist. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions avoiding frosts, before planting out, from May to June, 45cm apart. Flowers from June to September.
