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:

Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when the soil has warmed to at least 50°F (10°C).

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:

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

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

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