Sunflower Vanilla Ice

The pale sunflower — and a revelation in a vase. Sunflower Vanilla Ice produces large, creamy-white to pale lemon blooms with dark chocolate centres — a colour combination of extraordinary elegance that works as a natural lightener in arrangements and sits beautifully alongside the deeper tones of Chocolate and Ring of Fire.

Pollen-free, branching habit, and one of the most versatile sunflowers for the cutting garden.

• Helianthus annuus 'Vanilla Ice' — Half-Hardy Annual (H2)
• Height: 120–150cm | Flowers: July–September
• Sow indoors April–May or direct May–June; full sun
• Rich, well-drained soil — water generously

Grow it alongside Sunflower Chocolate and Ring of Fire for a three-tone sunflower cutting patch that covers every tone from cream to deep mahogany.
