Helianthus ‘Moon Walker’ reaches for the skies — up to 3 m tall — with soft yellow blooms and dark centres nodding high above the garden. This branching variety produces plenty of flowers, each held on strong stems perfect for cutting. As dusk falls, the petals seem to glow — a beautiful sight in the moonlight, when other flowers begin to fade.
🌸 Flowering: July to September
📏 Height: to 300cm
🌿Annual
SOW: start indoors in February or March in individual pots or modules, about 1cm deep, at around 20°C. Germination takes 1–2 weeks. In milder areas, you can also sow outdoors in April, either in pots or direct where they’re to flower.
GROW: harden off and plant out once frosts have passed, spacing them 40–50cm apart. Keep well watered and choose a sunny, open spot. Stake tall varieties, especially if you're using them as a screen or windbreak.
ENJOY: view in the moonlight to see the soft yellow blooms almost glow. Tall, strong, and branching — ideal for cutting and creating dramatic height in the garden.
