Sunflower Seeds

Nothing adds summer sunshine to a garden quite like Fothergill’s sunflower seeds. Sunflowers are the quintessential warm weather flower; they bloom when the weather warms, their yellow colour contrasts beautifully with clear blue skies, and they’re a favourite of busy buzzing pollinators like bees. 

Our sunflower seed collection includes beloved varieties like Giant Single Sunflower, known for its towering stems and classic yellow-and-black flower faces, and Little Dorrit F1, a compact option ideal for smaller gardens or pots. Or for something truly unique, try Black Magic F1, with its deep maroon flowers that add drama wherever they’re planted. Whatever you choose, pair it with other summer-flowering varieties by sowing Dahlia seeds and Zinnia seeds for even more summer fun.

Whether you’re after a garden bursting with colour or flowers to cut and enjoy indoors, our flower seeds are bred for reliable germination and performance in UK conditions. Browse our full range of sunflower seeds below and start growing your own sunny display today!

When to Sow Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds are spring sowing flower seeds. Sow them indoors or outdoors from March to May, depending on your preference and the weather. For earlier blooms, start them indoors in pots or trays during March or April. If sowing directly outdoors, wait until the soil has warmed up in April or May. Sunflowers bloom from around June to September – the height of summer.

How to Grow Sunflower Seeds

To grow sunflower seeds indoors, plant them in small pots filled with good-quality compost, about 1.5cm (1/2in) deep. Place the pots in a warm, light spot, keeping the compost moist but not soggy. Then, once the seedlings are strong enough, harden them off gradually and plant them outside after the last frost.

For outdoor sowing, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Sow seeds directly into the ground, spacing them 10-15cm (4-6in) apart and covering them with soil. Water them regularly and provide support for them as they grow taller. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers during the season.
