Dotty Dancing Plant and Giant Sunflower Growing Kit

Dotty Dancing Plant

Grow your own dotty Dancing Plant on a sunny windowsill.  A very unusual plant, this is also referred to as a Sensitive Plant as the leaves fold up if touched or in a breeze.  Touch the leaf and the leaves fold and the leaf stalk drops , almost as if they were on a hinge.  This happens quickest when the plants are in bright sunlight and they return to the open state over a few minutes.  In addition the plants do produce attractive fluffy pink flowers from mid-summer onwards.  This plant needs to be grown indoors or in a heated conservatory.   It’s just too sensitive for the garden!

Sunny Sunflower Garden

Grow a Giant Sunflower and make the garden look cheerful.   The sunflower is an annual plant.  The large yellow flowers have big centres where the seeds for the following year will ripen.  You can plant these seeds, but they are enjoyed by the birds.

Did you know that Sunflowers are heliotropic?   This means they like to keep their faces in the sun, and will follow the path of the sun across the sky.   How clever is that!

Plant the seeds and watch them grow!
