We also have a couple of pollen free sunflowers, which are great if you're planning on using them as cut flowers for around the home. These varieties however won't be the best ones to choose if you want to attract pollinators to your garden.
Some of these varieties can grow up to 2 metres in height so they make a eye-catching displays when sown in borders, or grow dwarf sunflowers in pots for the patio. As well as being eye-catching, they are also great at attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies into the garden.
