Seed Story: Everyone loves a good sunflower, especially children and while there’s something almost magical about 8 or 10 foot giants they aren’t the most practical for my windy garden in West Wales. These dwarf sunflowers, called Sunspot, are ideal though! They only grow around 2 feet tall, and their thick robust stems mean they usually don’t need any support and yet they still support gloriously large flowers. Great for cut-flower displays or leave into the autumn to attract birds who love the pick out of abundant seeds. They take up so little space, single plants can be scattered throughout the vegetable garden to add a bit colour.
