Shelf Life: Best planted within 1 year for maximum germination
Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation: No special seed preparation is required.
Sowing: Directly sow seeds into the garden after the last frost. Scatter seeds over prepared soil or plant in rows, spacing them 12-18 inches apart. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and gently press to ensure good soil contact.
Germination: Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days, depending on soil temperature and moisture. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C) for best results.
Transplanting: Thin seedlings to leave 18-24 inches between plants. If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, once they have several sets of true leaves.
Care and Maintenance: Water regularly during dry spells to promote strong root growth. Once established, Mexican sunflowers are drought-tolerant and require minimal watering. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to prolong blooming. Stake tall plants if necessary to prevent them from flopping.
