Product Description

Sunflower

Helianthus Debilis

Ice Cream

Packet contents: approx 100 seeds

The Ice Cream sunflower is a slightly different variety of sunflower with smaller, creamy coloured blooms and branching out habit. It is a hardy annual or a short lived perennial. Grows up to 80 cm to 1 m in height. Will make a lovely cut flower.

Sowing: Sunflowers are easy to grow and the seeds can be sown directly into a well prepared bed where they are to flower. They will do well in any well-drained soil in full sun. Sow direct only when the soil is warm enough and all danger from frost has passed. Alternatively, they can be grown inside in containers and then planted out. Sow the seeds using fine seed compost and pot on once the seedlings are large enough and have developed true leaves. Germination can take between 6 to 14 days at temperature from 18°C to 25°C.

Flowers: July to September/October

Tip: Pinch out the tip at 45 cm to encourage branching.

Great value for money!
