Sunflower Classic (Helianthus annuus) is one of the most beloved and iconic flowers in the garden. This annual plant can grow up to 3 metres tall and produces large, yellow flowers that follow the sun's movement across the sky. Sunflowers are easy to grow and thrive best in sunny spots with well-drained soil. They flower from high summer to early autumn and attract bees and butterflies. Seeds can be sown directly into the ground in spring after the risk of frost has passed. Sunflowers are also valuable for their nutritious seeds, which can be harvested in autumn.
