There’s something about a Sunflower that stops you in your tracks. Maybe it’s the unapologetic brightness. Maybe it’s the way they turn up bold and golden even when the skies don’t. Either way, they’re one of our most-loved bunches – for good reason. Whether it’s a grey Monday, a friend who needs cheering up, or just a quiet moment that calls for something bold and beautiful, a Sunflower delivery does the job.
At Little Flowers, we’ve got more than one kind. From classic sunshine yellows to rich, autumnal varieties and even the fluffy kind that look like they’re made to be hugged, our Sunflowers cover a lot of ground. And yep – Little Flowers delivers across Sydney, seven days a week.
Sunflowers are joyful. Not delicate or fussy or shy about it – just big, bright, and full of good energy. That’s part of the reason they’re one of our most popular bunches. People send them to say “you’ve got this” or “I’m thinking of you” or “I know it’s been a week.” They’re especially popular at the tail end of a weekend or in the middle of a murky stretch of weather – like a little protest against the gloom. (And yes, we deliver on Sundays. So if someone you love needs a pick-me-up before Monday hits, we’ve got you.)
And they’re surprisingly versatile. Sunflowers are one of the most gender-neutral blooms around. We see plenty of women sending them to their boyfriends, husbands or mates. Men love receiving them too – our own team’s a bit obsessed, to be honest. They’re sunny without being too sweet, and bold without being over-the-top. That rare mix of striking and simple, and a bunch that tends to get remembered.
Our classic sunflower bunch is one of those go-to gifts that works for almost anything. Cheer-up gesture? Tick. Birthday surprise? Absolutely. Just because someone’s lovely? Even better. You can choose from two sizes, and we deliver these flowers across Sydney seven days a week for you – so it’s easy to send sunshine when it matters most.
Most of the year (roughly September to May), our Sunflowers are grown right here in NSW by local growers we’ve known and loved for years. When winter rolls in and the weather’s too cold for Sunflowers to thrive locally, we sometimes source from Queensland to keep the bunches coming. Either way, we handpick the best from the Sydney flower markets multiple times a week – so your bunch gets the freshest, happiest stems going around.
At Little Flowers, we also like to pass on the good vibes when we can. If there’s a bumper crop or we score a great deal, we’ll occasionally run sunflower specials just for our email subscribers. Want in? Just tap the email button at the bottom of this post – we’ll make sure you’re on the list.
Some people want Sunflowers once. Others want them often. If you’re in the second camp – or know someone who is – our Sunflower Subscription makes it easy to keep the good energy flowing. You get a bright bunch delivered at regular intervals, with no overthinking required.
There’s definitely a group of people who really love sunflowers – and we get it. In fact, they’re the only single-variety bunch we offer a subscription for. Why? Because you asked for it. The Sunflower lovers made themselves known, and we listened.
It comes in one size (for now), but if you’ve got something else in mind, just email us. We’re always happy to help make it work. The subscription is perfect for low-key self-care, birthday gifting that lasts longer than a day, or just letting someone know you’re thinking of them over time. It’s cheerful, thoughtful, and doesn’t need to shout about it. Just like the flowers themselves.
For those who like their Sunflowers with a little extra edge, Autumn Beauty Sunflowers are something special. These aren’t your classic yellow blooms – they’re deep bronze, warm gold, and rich sunset tones that feel like they’ve been pulled straight from an oil painting.
They’re one of our team’s seasonal favourite, but also a bit of a well-kept secret. The tones are moodier, earthier, and less common – which makes them perfect for flower lovers who like something a little unexpected. Florists and in-the-know types tend to fall for them hard.
We don’t get them every year (it depends on the crop), and they’re only around for a short window in autumn. But when they do appear, they make a stunning bunch. And yes, they’re always Australian-grown – mostly from right here in NSW.
If Autumn Beauty Sunflowers are the bold, moody type, Teddy Bear Sunflowers are their soft-hearted cousin. Big, bright, and impossibly fluffy, they’re the kind of flower that makes people smile before they’ve even read the tag.
These are especially lovely for “get well soon” or “thinking of you” moments. There’s something about their texture – so tactile and cheerful- that feels like a hug in bunch form. Their heads can vary in size depending on the season, but they’re always full of personality.
And while they’re cheerful, they’re also a little bit special. Their fluffy, rounded heads give them a distinctive look, which makes them a favourite for people who want something just a bit different. They’re not your average flower – and that’s exactly why we love them.
Teddy Bear Sunflowers usually pop up around the end of summer into early autumn, and like all our Sunflower varieties, they’re Australian grown.
Most of the Sunflowers in our bunches are grown right here in Sydney, but sometimes they do come from Queensland when the weather cools down. Little Flowers works with several trusted growers who supply the Sydney flower markets, and we choose the best we can find for you, multiple times a week.
Buying Australian flowers means your bunch hasn’t spent days on a plane. It’s fresher, more vibrant, and simply better. It also helps support the local growers who put the time and care into producing something beautiful, season after season.
We don’t shout about it, but it matters. And it’s part of why our Sunflowers look so good when they land at someone’s door.
Locally grown and market-picked multiple times a week
Whether it’s classic yellow, fluffy and tactile, or something a little more unexpected, Sunflowers are blooms that always land with impact – no matter the season or the reason. Big, bold and hard to ignore, they turn up like sunshine on your doorstep.
