How to grow sunflowers
To grow sunflowers you need a sunny but, sheltered spot and healthy soil. Sunflowers are typically planted in March or April. If you wish to get a headstart, planing seeds indoors in early March is best, before moving growing sunflowers and replanting outside in late April. Sunflowers will typically grow up to 2 metres tall.
Are sunflowers perennials?
Sunflowers can be perennials whilst many varieties of sunflowers are annuals. Some differences between sunflowers that are perennials, and sunflowers that are annual are the head size, sunflowers with small heads, are generally perennials. Perennial sunflowers also take longer to bloom, and will not bloom on the first year of being planted whilst annual sunflowers will.
Are sunflowers easy to grow?
Sunflowers are one of the easier stems to grow, and are often grown in schools with children. Care will have to be taken to ensure birds do not eat planted seeds. Once the sunflowers are past their seeding stage and are growing in the earth, they are fairly easy to maintain.

With the sunflower, there’s no messing around like that. It’s a flower and it looks like the sun. Like actually looks like it - same colour, shape, everything. Sure, the cynics amongst us might scoff at their broadest of the broad appeal - I would say they’re like the Coldplay of the flower world but even the worst flower out there doesn’t deserve that accolade. Truth is, there is something inherently happy about them: those bright yellow ‘ray’ petals, their gangly shape and larger than life size. They symbolise adoration but there’s nothing particularly symbolic about that is there?
Floom’s flowers were actually more beautiful in person! I would highly recommend :)
I have both received and sent flowers with Floom and had wonderful experiences both times! I love the unique arrangements from the array of florists they work with. It is a nice change of pace from the same bouquets at all the other usual suspects, and I really like to find new local shops to support.
Everything was absolutely perfect — the bouquet looked even more beautiful in real life than in the picture
The flowers I ordered for my aunt’s 75th birthday were arranged so beautifully!! I was a little surprised of the color - I thought it’s going to be white roses as in the picture. The roses were soft lilac color, but they are lovely, nonetheless! Thank you!
Floom made it easy ordering from Nigeria. It's not my first time, and I didn't have to worry about the delivery. I highly recommend.
