Growing guide
From seed to harvestAvoid root disturbance

Cut as they open
Fully open for drying.
Growing Information
Days to germination
About 1–2 weeks at 70–75°F (21–24°C).
Direct sowing
The best method. After the last frost, sow 3–4 seeds per spot, 1/2" deep, and thin to one plant at the first true leaves.
Starting indoors
Sunflowers dislike root disturbance, so sow straight into the final container 3–4 weeks before planting out: one seed per 6" pot or three per gallon pot. For beds, plant out once seedlings have 3–4 true leaves.
Growing on
About 70–80°F (21–27°C) by day and 50–60°F (10–16°C) at night. Warmer conditions make plants stretch; cooler ones keep them shorter.
Light
Full sun.
Soil
Light, free-draining soil of low to moderate fertility.
Plant spacing
8–12", far enough that leaves do not touch; crowded plants grow taller with weaker stems.
Hardiness
Annual.
Harvest
For fresh use, cut as the flowers start to open. For drying, wait until they are fully open, then hang them or use silica gel.
Uses
Containers and mass plantings.
Packet
50 seeds.
Seeds per oz.
About 800 on average.
