We are delighted to be supported again this year by Chiltern Seeds and have bundles of 5 packs of Helianthus annuus ‘Earthwalker’ Sunflower seed.

This beautiful plant is ripe for sowing in March-May and as a hardy annual will come back every year.

Gorgeous variety for the back of the border. Tall, strong and vigorous and blooming in abundance, it produces lovely, multi-headed Sunflowers in warming, open-fire-flame colours of terracotta and rich reddish-brown. 10ft (3m)

Surely a plant that needs no introduction. Worthy of a place in any garden and a favourite for children to grow. Incidentally, an ideal plant to grow in a large clump at the foot of large trees or near the edge of a pool. They are surprisingly tolerant of partial shade. There are now also plenty of varieties that are great for cutting – big and dramatic and, of particular interest to the writer – no skill required for arranging! Just stick them in a (large) vase.

Don’t delay – apply today.
Happy sowing and growing!
