Thompson and Morgan Sunflower 'Soluna Bronze' Seed Packet - Orange Bronze

Thompson & Morgan

Introduce the striking Sunflower 'Soluna Bronze' to your garden, a distinctive variety of Helianthus debilis known for its graceful, multi-branched growth habit. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds, offering the potential for a spectacular display of 3-inch flowers that transition from warm orange to rich bronze tones, all centered with a dark chocolate hue. These eye-catching blooms are perfect for adding vibrant colour to borders, containers, and as beautiful cut flowers for indoor arrangements. The naturally well-branched structure ensures a profusion of flowers throughout the summer months. How to Grow: - Sow seeds directly outdoors from early spring to early summer in the desired flowering location. Prepare the soil by raking it to a fine tilth. - Sow seeds at a depth of 12mm, spaced about 30cm apart in rows. - Germination typically occurs within 21 days. - For earlier blooms, you can start seeds indoors in 7.5cm pots. Aim for germination at around 20°C, which usually takes 1-2 weeks. - Once seedlings are large enough, thin them to stand 30cm apart. - Gradually acclimate indoor-sown plants to outdoor conditions before planting them out after the risk of frost has passed. - Protect young plants from slugs and snails. - This variety thrives in well-drained soil and requires full sun for optimal growth. - Provide regular feeding and watering, and stake taller stems to prevent damage from wind. This packet of Sunflower 'Soluna Bronze' seeds offers a rewarding gardening experience, bringing warmth and colour to your outdoor space and home.
