How to Grow Sunflowers for a Bright, Wildlife Friendly Garden

Sunflower seeds are a fantastic choice for creating wildlife friendly gardens that the whole family can enjoy. Sow seeds from March or April, either indoors to raise strong sunflower seedlings or directly into garden soil outdoors from late April once the risk of frost has passed. Sunflowers love full sun and thrive in well-fed soil, so adding tomato feed as plants grow will help encourage tall stems and a bright, long-lasting bloom throughout summer. Whether planted in beds, borders, pots or containers, these hardy plants produce cheerful yellow, orange, cream and even pink flower displays that bring real sunshine to any outdoor space. Perfect for little ones and seasoned gardeners alike, growing sunflowers is an easy and rewarding way to support pollinators like bees and butterflies, while also providing food for birds later in the season. From the first shoots in spring to blooms in June and lasting colour through to August and September, sunflowers are a joyful addition to any garden.
