Product Description
The Soleil F1 Hybrid Sunflower (Extra Dwarf) is a charming and compact variety that delivers vibrant golden-yellow blooms on stocky plants. Reaching only about 40 cm in height, it is one of the smallest sunflower hybrids available, making it perfect for tight garden spaces, balconies, patios, and decorative containers. Despite its size, Soleil F1 produces multiple blooms, offering plenty of cheerful colour in a small footprint.
With its pollen-free flowering habit, Soleil F1 is ideal for allergy-friendly households and clean, long-lasting cut flower displays. This makes it a great option not only for outdoor beauty but also for bringing fresh sunflower arrangements indoors without the mess of pollen. Its quick flowering time—just 6–7 weeks from planting—means gardeners don’t have to wait long to enjoy its sunshine-like display.
Soleil is versatile and adapts well to different growing conditions. It can be grown in small pots where it stays compact, or in larger pots and open garden beds where it may grow slightly taller and produce more secondary blooms. This flexibility allows gardeners to create everything from colourful balcony containers to striking garden borders.
Easy to grow, fast to flower, and incredibly rewarding, Soleil F1 Hybrid is the perfect choice for beginner gardeners, children’s gardens, or anyone looking to add a bright, cheerful touch to their space.

Growing Tips
Sow seeds directly into pots or the garden, as sunflowers dislike transplanting. Provide full sun and water regularly to encourage steady growth. Soleil is naturally compact but will reward you with more blooms if grown in larger containers or open garden beds. A light application of liquid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks will enhance flower production and plant vigour.
Harvest & Display
Soleil’s pollen-free golden blooms are perfect for fresh floral arrangements, staying clean and long-lasting indoors. Outdoors, their compact size makes them ideal for patio pots, balcony gardens, and edging along borders. With its quick growth and festive blooms, Soleil ensures a burst of sunshine wherever it is planted.
