I'm astounded !
« on: August 16, 2023, 10:21 »
Good morning gardeners,
I'm astounded at just how much moola my beloved hands over at the shed tills for flower seedlings.  Could someone recommend a seedsman for reliable and hopefully cheap flower seeds?

Also, I once saw a huge sunflower head in a garden.  Not particularly tall and the petals weren't anything to write home about but the seeds were about 12" inches across.  Does anyone have any idea what the name might be?

Cheers,  Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

I shall follow up both of your suggestions, thanks very much. :)

I have found the Organic Gardening Catalogue have flower seeds at £0:89 per packrt.

No sign of "Russian Giant", so I've gome for "Mongolian Giant" .
Cheers,  Tony.
