8 red sunflowers
53 sunburst mix from a magazine packet of seeds
13 giant sunflowers from an old seed swap
24 giant sunflower mix from a different old seed swap
47 self saved sunflower mix

If half of them germinate it’ll make a pretty good display.
It’s going to look fabulous!
currently having a break near Oban - so not the right time to get on a Cal Mac to Mull!
Unfortunately your absolute right. avoiding ferries right now is a very good idea. They are in complete chaos! That’s a really shame because you’d be more than welcome to come for a visit  Smile .

I sowed seed of Nicotiana Sylvestris which I saved last autumn. I adore these and highly recommend growing.

Just googled them. They’re pretty. Save some more of those for the next seed circle please  Blush . Are they easy to grow?

Yes, I find them easy. The seeds are tiny, like petunias and snapdragons, but once they grow they're undemanding and even just a few plants can make a dramatic statement.

I particularly like that they don't snap even when it's very windy. Last year the heads of my sunflowers were blown clean off, but the nicotiana withstood all weather.

Yes, they do! I don't find it particularly heavy, I have to get close to smell it but it is lovely. It reminds me of jasmine with a bit of beach breeze.
