Hey Alison: They come up quick, but you may want to pick your varieties, there’s quite a spread in maturity dates. In the cut flower types (all that I looked at), you should be blooming in around 60 days for many, which is perfect, but some go up to 85-90. Still, it’s only spring yet! A whole summer to go!! I’m planning to replant every couple of weeks until mid-July.

Thank you! I had just about decided not to bother sowing sunflowers this year, until I read this - I shall go ‘n’ sow some this evening.

Sunflowers are beautiful and their seeds are really useful for sunflower oil or fed to the birds.
