A magnificent brand new bi-colour variety of sunflower! 'Tiger Eye' boasts compact plants that grow an abundance of flower heads which have showy burning bright blooms with golden-yellow petals and a unique deep-red ring around the disc floret.

The sunflower seeds also make a delicious and nutritious snack!
Sowing Information
Sow the seed thinly 13mm ( 1?2") deep direct into finely raked, moist, warm, weed-free soil where the plants are to flower, from late April-June. Germination usually takes 7-14 days. As the seedlings develop, thin them out gradually to achieve a final spacing of 30cm (12"). For early flowering sow in trays indoors in March/April, transfer into 9cm pots, grow on then acclimatise before planting outside where the plants are to flower, once the risk of frosts has disappeared.
