Torbay-based Suttons Seeds has been nominated for two prestigious awards, one of which is for its group-grown, multi-headed sunflower.
The group's iconic 'Sunflower Waooh!' plant has earned the business a nomination for Grower of the Year 2012. The species features a multi-headed display of golden flowers with large, dark centres. With its dwarf habits, the bushy plant is ideal for growing on patios in pots.

The winners of the Grower of the Year awards will be announced next month at a ceremony in London.

Suttons has also been short-listed for the top award in the sales and marketing category of the South Devon Business Excellence awards, the winners of which will be announced at a ceremony in Torquay on February 10.
