Planting Instructions:

1. Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Sunflowers prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil.
2. Sowing: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart. Cover lightly with soil.
3. Watering: Keep the soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-10 days. Water regularly to support vigorous growth.
4. Spacing: Thin seedlings to about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.

Growing Tips:

• Light Requirements: Sunflowers thrive in full sun. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Watering: Water deeply but infrequently to encourage strong root development. Once established, sunflowers are fairly drought-tolerant.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer if necessary. Avoid over-fertilization, which can lead to weaker stems.
• Support: Taller varieties may require staking to support the heavy flower heads, especially in windy areas.
• Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as aphids and caterpillars. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed.

Harvesting Seeds:

• Maturity: Sunflower seeds are ready to harvest when the back of the flower head turns brown and the seeds begin to loosen.
• Harvesting: Cut the flower head and allow it to dry in a warm, dry place. Once dry, rub the seeds off the head.
• Storage: Store seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Special Notes:

• Sunflowers can be planted in succession to ensure continuous blooms throughout the growing season.
• They make excellent companion plants, helping to attract pollinators and beneficial insects to your garden.
