Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Sunflower seeds generally do not require any special preparation before planting. However, you can soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Direct sow sunflower seeds outdoors after the last frost date in your area. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil.
Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 6 to 12 inches apart, depending on the variety. Larger varieties may require more spacing.

Germination:

Sunflower seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days under optimal conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Sunflowers do not transplant well due to their long taproot. It's best to sow seeds directly in the final growing location.
If starting seeds indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, if necessary, ensuring to harden them off gradually.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Once established, sunflowers are relatively drought-tolerant. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Support: Taller varieties may require staking or support to prevent them from toppling over in windy conditions.
Harvesting Seeds: If growing sunflowers for their seeds, allow the flower heads to mature and dry on the plant. Harvest the seeds once the back of the flower head turns brown and the seeds are plump and firm.
