Why We Love It:


Sunflower ‘Pacino Gold’ is a dwarf, multi-headed variety that delivers a flurry of golden yellow blooms with dark centres. Its tidy size makes it ideal for patio containers, window boxes, or sunny city gardens where space is at a premium. Long-flowering and low-maintenance, it adds instant sunshine to any spot and is a hit with pollinators too!


 


Planting & Care Tips:




  • When to Plant: Sow indoors from March to April or directly outdoors after the last frost (typically from May onwards)


  • Where to Plant: Sunny, sheltered spot in containers or borders


  • Spacing: 20–30cm apart


  • Care Notes: Water regularly, especially during dry spells. No staking required due to compact habit. Deadhead faded blooms to encourage more flowers

 


The Nunhead Gardener Recommends:


Perfect for children’s planting projects or balcony growers looking for a splash of summer colour. Combine with nasturtiums and calendula for a pollinator-friendly, sunny planting scheme.
