Helianthus 'Waooh' Seeds

Waooh Sunflowers are lovely in the garden and brilliant for containers too. Each plant is sturdy, very well branched and free flowering. Masses of lovely golden yellow flowers with a dark central disk are produced for weeks on end. They are easy to grow, good for cut flower production and excellent in the garden too. Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit for outstanding garden performance.

Sow Waooh Sunflowers in succession for flowers all season from June to September. For your cut flower patch sow indoors March-April then plant out in May. Sow again when the soil has warmed up outdoors (from May onwards) for a later crop. If you are serious about cut flower production sow a batch of seeds every two weeks.

Conditions Required Sunflowers prefer moist but well drained soil in full sun. Wahoo Sunflowers are sturdy so there's no need to stake. Water thoroughly in dry spells.
Flower Production Many stems with golden yellow blooms produced from June to September. Each flower head is 10cm (4 inches) across making them perfect for hand tied bouquets. Takes 11-12 weeks from seed to flower.
Picking For cut flowers pick Sunflowers when the first few petals have unfurled. It's best to pick when it's cool, early in the morning or evening, strip most of the leaves from the stem and stand them in deep water for a few hours. Sunflowers have a long vase life, no preservative necessary.
Planting Combinations Sunflowers are some of the most stunning annual flowers you can grow and Waooh is popular because of their vibrant colour and outstanding performance. Sunflowers will amaze you with their beauty, speed of growth and long vase life.
