Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. However, soaking seeds in water for 6-8 hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperature is at least 50°F (10°C).
Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart in rows or clusters. If planting in rows, space the rows about 2-3 feet apart.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days.
Maintain consistent moisture during the germination period, but avoid waterlogging.

Transplanting:

Sunflowers are best sown directly outdoors, but if starting seeds indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, ensuring to harden them off gradually by exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the early growth stages and flowering period. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth.
Mulching: Mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Support: Tall sunflower varieties may need staking to prevent them from toppling over in strong winds.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. If growing for seeds, allow the heads to mature and dry on the plant before harvesting.
