Product Description
The Double Delight F1 Hybrid Sunflower (Semi Dwarf) is a unique variety that adds novelty and charm to any garden. Growing to a manageable 75 cm tall, it produces multiple semi-double bright yellow blooms that create a rich, full look. Unlike traditional single-headed sunflowers, this hybrid offers layer upon layer of cheerful petals, making it perfect for gardeners who want something a little different.
Flowering within just 7–8 weeks from sowing, Double Delight delivers fast results and a continuous display throughout the season. Its pollen-free habit makes the blooms excellent for clean, allergy-friendly indoor vases while also ensuring tidy outdoor displays. Compact yet eye-catching, it is versatile enough for use in pots, small gardens, or as a feature border plant.
When planted in larger pots or directly into the garden, Double Delight may grow slightly taller and produce more secondary blooms, extending its display of sunshine-yellow flowers. Easy to grow and highly rewarding, this variety is suitable for gardeners of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced enthusiasts.

Growing Tips
Sow directly into pots, containers, or garden beds in a sunny position. As a tap-rooted plant, Double Delight benefits from deep but less frequent watering to encourage strong root growth. Plants remain compact in small containers but will reward you with more flowers if grown in large pots or garden soil. A balanced fertiliser every few weeks will boost vigour and flower production.
Harvest & Display
With its semi-double layered petals, Double Delight stands out as a novelty sunflower variety. Its long-lasting, pollen-free blooms are perfect for indoor arrangements, staying fresh and clean, while outdoors they add a striking feature to borders, edges, and container plantings. Compact, colourful, and fast to flower, Double Delight is a reliable way to brighten up your garden.
