The sunflower you thought you knew

No plant says speaks ‘happiness' quite like the sunflower; its bright yellow petals and creeping stem have been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, so you might think that you know all there is to know about the nation’s favourite sunny bloom, but you haven’t been introduced to the unique qualities of Sunsation.

Each flower will radiate for a few weeks before being replaced by another, so that you’re getting the absolute most of out your sunny plant. Unlike other sunflowers, which can grow up to a giant 16 feet, Sunsation stops at a conveniently compact height of up to 13cm, meaning that they can fit comfortably in any living space, big or small. Their adaptable nature and compact size also means that they can grow in abundance in your kitchen just as well as in your garden.

It’s easy to keep Sunsation looking fantastic – simply place the plant in a sunny spot, water regularly, and add plant food every couple of weeks. So no matter how busy you are, you can’t get it wrong with a Sunsation sunflower in your home.
