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?

Excellent range of high quality, stylish bouquets available for same and next day delivery. I always use Floom to send birthday flowers to friends and family.
Great experience. Everything arrived on time and my wife was very happy with the flowers. Will use again!
I loved my expedience. The gift I sent was just as pictured and arrived and made my girlfriend very happy!!
The ordering and delivery was great. It would be good to see what was sent to the recipient (like a picture of the flowers). My delivery was to an older couple so they are not familiar with taking photos with their phone so I was kept in dark about what was actually delivered.
I was anxious ordering from the U.S. but the site was very user-friendly, and the order was perfect.
Excellent service, beautiful arrangement! Perfect for the occasion!
