Bright yellow flowers with lovely, light green leaves that bloom for a long time. The large-flowered sunflower 'Irish Eyes' (Helianthus annuus) brightens up your flower garden. The 'Irish Eyes' is a lower-growing variety. It looks stunning in a nice large flower pot or as a cut flower in a beautiful bouquet indoors. Sow the flower seeds in late March to mid-April under glass, or outdoors in a seed bed from mid-April to May. Plant the seedlings outdoors after five or six weeks. The flowers bloom from July to October. The plant grows to about 55 cm tall.
Space the sunflower seeds 35 cm apart. Space the rows at a distance of 40 cm. Plant at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. The Helianthus grows best in full sun. After sowing, water the seeds adequately. The flower seeds come in a bag containing approximately 1 gram. This is enough to sow 3 square metres.
