The sunflower is a classic summer staple, found in gardens everywhere — grown by everyone from young children in school projects to seasoned gardeners in greenhouses. With countless varieties available, some sunflowers can grow to incredible heights and produce flower heads as large as dinner plates, while others are more suited for average gardens or containers. Regardless of the variety, they all share one thing in common: their stunning, vibrant blooms are bursting with summertime colour!
Sunflowers typically begin blooming in mid-summer and continue until the first frost. They thrive in full sun and prefer well-draining soil to reach their full potential. Taller varieties may require staking to protect them from wind and heavy rain. Given the right care, sunflowers are easy to grow and will quickly become the highlight of any garden. Whether left to brighten the garden or brought indoors, sunflowers make excellent cut flowers that can be enjoyed fresh in a vase.
Available as fresh cut flowers when in season, and year-round in our artificial offerings available in multiple lengths, colours, and shapes. Bring a touch of summer’s best indoors with sunflowers in your next arrangement.
