Sunflower farms in Australia
Best time to visit
Sunflowers are in season from December to March. Most farms open for a few weeks, more of them in February and March than other months. Sunflower season by state
Sunflowers are in season in Australia from December to March, by the season data on this site. Most of the farms here open their fields for a few weeks only, and the dates move each year with sowing and rain, so check the farm's own site the week you plan to go.
We list 23 farms, fields and trails across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. More of them list February and March than any other month. Kalbar in Queensland is the exception: the field is planted to flower for one long weekend in autumn.
Some farms let you cut your own stems, some sell picked bunches at the gate, and some are roadside viewing only. Each listing says which, and gives the price only where the farm publishes one.
