Sunflower Polino Cola Seed - Irish Plants Direct
 
Sunflower Polino Cola (Helianthus annuus) is a striking and unique variety known for its rich, warm-toned petals that blend shades of deep bronze, golden caramel, and burnt orange.
 
With a sophisticated colour palette reminiscent of autumn sunsets, these sunflowers create an eye-catching display in borders, beds, and cutting gardens.
 
Their dark, contrasting centres enhance the dramatic effect, making them a standout feature from mid-summer to early autumn.
 
This branching variety produces multiple blooms per plant, ensuring a continuous succession of flowers over the season.
The long, sturdy stems make them ideal for cut flower arrangements, while their nectar rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, promoting garden biodiversity.
 
As the season progresses, their seed heads provide a valuable food source for birds, adding an extra layer of wildlife appeal.
 
Thriving in sunny locations with well-drained soil, Polino Cola is an easy-to-grow, low maintenance choice for gardeners of all experience levels. Its tolerance for drought and heat makes it particularly well-suited for summer gardens, adding height, texture, and rich, earthy hues to any outdoor space.

Sowing Instructions

Outdoors: Direct sow from April to May in a sunny, well-prepared bed. Sow seeds 2 cm deep and 30 cm apart. Water well after planting and thin seedlings as necessary to allow space for strong, healthy growth.
 
 
Sunflower Polino Cola adds a touch of elegance to any garden, with its warm, golden-bronze blooms and long-lasting flowering season. Perfect for cut flowers, pollinator-friendly planting schemes, or as a bold statement in beds and borders.
