Sunflower Helianthus Annuus Carmel F1

€4.35
Sunflower Helianthus Annuus Carmel F1 from Thompson & Morgan is a stunning variety that brings an elegant twist to your summer garden. With large, golden-yellow blooms featuring a contrasting dark centre, this sunflower is sure to make a bold statement in any setting. Its striking appearance and sturdy stems make it an ideal choice for borders, flower beds, and as a focal point in larger garden designs. The flowers are perfect for cutting, adding brightness to indoor spaces with their long-lasting blooms.

Sunflower Carmel F1 is a strong and robust hybrid variety, known for its impressive height and resilience. Reaching up to 1.8m (6 feet), it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, where it can reach its full potential. The plant produces large, single flowers with rich, golden petals that contrast beautifully against the dark brown centre, creating a vibrant and dramatic display in the garden.

Sow the seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, or start indoors in pots 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Plant the seeds 2.5 cm deep in rich, well-drained soil and ensure the plants have plenty of sunlight to encourage strong growth. If sowing indoors, harden the young plants off gradually before transplanting them to their final position when all risk of frost has passed.

Sunflower Carmel F1 is perfect for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance plant that offers high impact. The flowers are highly attractive to bees and pollinators, adding an extra dimension to your garden’s ecosystem. They also make excellent cut flowers, lasting up to 10 days in a vase, allowing you to enjoy their beauty indoors.

With its tall stature, eye-catching blooms, and easy care, Sunflower Helianthus Annuus Carmel F1 is a must-have for gardeners seeking to add a touch of sunshine and drama to their outdoor spaces. It’s the perfect choice for both novice and experienced gardeners, promising a stunning display that will brighten your garden throughout the summer.
