Planting and Care Instructions

Seed Sowing and Germination:

  1. Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly into the garden after the last frost when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F (16°C).
  2. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart.
  3. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture until germination.
  4. Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.

Transplanting and Growing Conditions:

  • Choose a location with full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily).
  • Ensure soil is well-draining and nutrient-rich for optimal growth.
  • If planting in rows, space rows 2-3 feet apart to allow for proper airflow.

Ongoing Care:

  • Watering: Keep soil moist during early growth stages. Once established, sunflowers are drought-tolerant and require minimal watering.
  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost before planting to promote healthy growth.
  • Support: For taller varieties, staking may be necessary to prevent bending or toppling in strong winds.
  • Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage prolonged blooming and reduce seed dispersal.

Best Uses

  • Garden borders and flower beds
  • Pollinator-friendly gardens
