FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When can I grow Sunflowers in the UK?

Grow Sunflowers in spring, once the risk of hard frost has passed. Choose an open, sunny spot with shelter from strong winds.

Where is the best place to grow Sunflowers?

Sunflowers need full sun, fertile soil and plenty of space. Taller types benefit from a stake or support, especially in exposed gardens.

Why are my Sunflowers falling over?

Tall Sunflowers can topple in wind or when growing in shallow, dry soil. Add a sturdy stake early, water deeply and choose a sheltered location.

Can I grow Sunflowers in pots?

Yes, compact types grow well in large, deep pots. Use a heavy container with drainage holes and keep the compost evenly moist.

Why has my Sunflower not flowered?

Sunflowers need warmth, sunlight and enough root room to form strong buds. Shade, drought and overcrowding can delay or reduce flowering.
