KEY GROWING INFORMATION

SOWING:

Direct seed (recommended) - After last frost, sow ½" deep. Transplant - Sow into 72 to 50-cell flats 2-3 weeks prior to planting out. Plants dislike root disturbance but sowing indoors and then transplanting the first crop outdoors can be a successful way to get first-early sunflowers. Pinching branching varieties is recommended to encourage branching and longer stems. Succession-sow every 2-3 weeks and/or plant multiple varieties for continued harvest.

LIGHT PREFERENCE:

Sun.

PLANT SPACING:

18-24".

HARDINESS ZONES:

Annual.

HARVEST:

Flowers can be harvested tight, when color first shows, or when almost completely open, depending on your preferred use. Dried - Flowers are completely open. Hang or use silica gel.

SOIL REQUIREMENTS:

Light, well-drained soil. Excessive nitrogen may cause plants to grow too vigorously with abnormal flower shapes.

USES:

Excellent cut flower. 

NOTES:

Flower size and stem diameter are controlled by plant spacing, temperature, soil type, and day length.
