"sunbelievable" Annual Sunflower
8 Answers
This plant was introduced this year and I wondered if anyone else on here has 'tried' it out?. I bought the plant and it was a beautiful specimen when it arrived but I could not get it out of the pot so I sank the pot into a larger container. It has been devastated 3 separate times by vicious winds/rain which ripped some stems off and I wonder just how good it would have been if that had not happened. It is still in flower (12 at the moment) with still more buds in the offing and its late October. It is such a bright splash of colour, the tallest flower is around 2ft high x 4" across. It is loved by wasps! I would love to know what it would have been like if it had not been so devastated by the weather. Its been a 'cracker' of a plant nontheless.!

Is it this one? Looks like one to try next summer. I like things to attract bees amongst my veggies.

Unfortunately apparently they do not seed! I have left couple of flower heads on as they died off just to see what happens but Thomson & Morgan state that they do not seed. It seemed very expensive when it first came out (for an annual), hopefully next year will see it less so, but I would willing have paid the asking price knowing now how it performs. I assume they take cuttings for propagation.
My plant was in a plastic flower pot with the normal openings that allow the roots to protrude, I could not get it out of the pot without damaging the plant, and I did not want to do that. so I sank it into a much larger container and it has worked superbly. I would normally have tried to cut the pot away (about 7" across) but since I moved here I no longer have my gardening gear (this abode has a communal lawned garden) so chose my only option. !
