Planting Instructions:

• Seed Preparation:

  • No special preparation is needed, but soaking the seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting can speed up germination.

• Sowing:

  • Timing: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when the soil has warmed to at least 50°F (10°C).
  • Depth: Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 6-12 inches apart. For continuous blooms, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks until midsummer.

• Germination:

  • Sunflower seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period but avoid waterlogging.

• Transplanting:

  • If starting indoors, sow seeds in biodegradable pots 2-3 weeks before the last frost. This will avoid transplant shock as the pots can be planted directly into the soil.
  • Transplant seedlings when they have at least 2 sets of true leaves and after all danger of frost has passed.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering:

  • Water sunflowers deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

• Support:

  • Provide support for taller varieties to prevent them from toppling over.

• Deadheading:

  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and to keep the plants tidy.
