Introduction
This guide to growing sunflowers, updated in 2009, is based upon one written by the United Kingdom Sunflower Association (UKSA). The UKSA was formed in 1994 and closed in 2007. The current guide was funded through the Defra Innovation Network, led by the University of Warwick (www.warwick.ac.uk/go/climatechange/innovation-network), G B seeds Ltd and HGCA.
