Sunflower Little Leo

Little Leo is a beautifully proportioned, prolific sunflower. The bright yellow flower heads are borne on short, multi-branching stems and are perfect for spot planting in beds and borders, reaching the height of 45cm.

Sow outdoors, from March to May, where they are to flower, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained 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, from September to October, 1.5cm deep, individually in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or greenhouse. Keep the compost moist.
