Helianthus annuus

Approx. 25 seeds

Timing: Direct sow repeatedly after the last frost date. Starting indoors is possible, but does not gain much time. If sunflowers are allowed to get root-bound, they will lack stability at transplant time, and will require staking. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 21-30C (70-85F). Seeds should sprout in 10-14 days.

Starting: Sow seeds 5mm-1cm (-) deep. Space dwarf varieties 15cm (6) apart, but give the giants lots of room at 1m (3) between plants.
