Growing instructions
Sow sunflowers outdoors after last frost, until mid-June for autumnal blooms. Can be scattered or sowed in rows. Thin sunflowers to 8-12 inches apart for a dense wall. Tolerate dry conditions and require full sun. Cut blooms to encourage more flowers, or let the seeds mature (to save or to feed the birds).

This is a beautiful sunflower variety! I did have some trouble with birds while direct sowing outdoors but once started indoors they took off. Most of mine are definitely over 5ft and they're really a great garden addition.

Our first year growing these beauties. I’m a taller woman, they definitely grow over 5-feet. The bees love them.
