Product Description
Introducing Helianthus 'Sunblast', a new introduction and a plant with truly unbelievable flower power. The next generation of ever-blooming annual sunflower Sunblast is set to stun with large yellow flowers produced in profusion on multiple stems with no need for pinching out.
Helianthus ‘Sunblast' certainly packs a punch with hundreds of glorious yellow sunflowers each with a mahogany centre 'eye'. You'll be amazed how it just blooms and blooms and blooms - from early summer right up until the first frosts.
Compact and vigorous, this pot-sunflower is perfect for growing in containers or in flower borders, where you'll get an explosion of colour over a long flowering season - non-stop from May - it's reliable, robust and easy to grow, so is ideal for first-time gardeners and seasoned veterans alike!
Trials have shown that Sunblast is more floriforous than its competitors, with the promise of even more blooms - over 1,000 in a year!
And the secret to the success of this amazing plant? Well that's down to its inability to set seed - a good thing if you don't want to be constantly weeding out unwanted seedlings - but also it means that all of the plant's energy goes into flower production - win-win if you ask us!
Supplied as an established plant in a 17cm pot - ready to plant out. Growing to around 60cm x 25cm (24in x 10in).

Top Tips
Care Guide
- Protect plants from late frosts.
- Plant in a sunny, warm position in the garden or plant into your favourite container using a good quality compost. Sunflowers prefer long, hot summers to flower well.
- In the garden, dig a hole 3 x the size of the pot and incorporate some well-rotted manure or compost into the soil removed.
- Remove the plant from its pot and tease out some roots. Place the plant into the hole, up to the level that it was in its pot.
- Backfill the hole and firm the soil.
- Work in a slow release granular fertilizer 20cm (8in) deep into your soil.
- Water well and regularly.
