Sunflower Pudsey is a hardy annual that will bloom the same year it is sown. It is easy to grow and fast-growing, with huge heads on giant stems. Perfect for children and adults alike, it is sure to be a favourite in any garden.

Sow outdoors where they are to flower, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Sow two seeds together every 45cm. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Remove the weaker plant, which can be transplanted if desired. Water well until young plants are established.
Or sow indoors 1.5cm deep, individually in pots of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or green house. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 45cm apart.
