Description
Try growing the sunflowers with the biggest heads! The flower heads of Titan can grow up to a massive 50cm (20") wide on strong, sturdy stems. After the flower is gone, your 'bird table' is formed and it is an edible one! The old flower head is full of seeds to feed the birds well into the autumn. Mature height up to 3.5m (12'). Sow your seeds individually in small pots and grow them on a sunny windowsill. From March, as the plant's roots stick out of the bottom of the pot, plant into a bigger plant pot with more space. Plant outside mid-May using a tall cane as a support. Seeds can also be sown straight into the ground two fingers deep in May. The flower is ready to use as a bird table when it has dropped its petals and you can see the seeds. Get a grown-up to chop the flower off and put it on a wall or table. You can then watch the birds eat the seeds, you can eat them too! See your flowers from July to September. Supplied as 1 x packet of approximately 20 seeds.
