Will this grow again in a herbal ley?

I seem to remember @martian had it in the mix his cattle were on at groundswell. Did you just sow it once and it regrows each year?

Wouldn't mind mixing a kilo per acre in grass seed mix. But won't bother if it only grows on year of sowing.

What height do they grow to? Could we mix this with our ab9 stewardship mix?

Standard Sunflowers grow to about 2 meters. I can't see any reason why you can't add some seed to a Stewardship mix.

One year is all you will get.

They can be funny old things... seen them germinate month later after drilling.

About 500kg/ha then I'm all done & dusted.

Around 10% of the total mix being sensible about it.
