PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
WHEN TO PLANT SUNFLOWER SEEDS
It is recommended to sow your
sunflower seeds directly into your garden rather than start them in starter
pots. Sunflowers send down long taproots that can be stunted in small pots.
Once all danger of frost has passed and both daytime and nighttime temperatures
reach 55F to 60F you are ready to sow your sunflower seeds.
WHERE TO PLANT SUNFLOWER SEEDS
Sunflowers grow best in full-sun
locations – receiving at least 6 to 8 hours of full sun exposure per day.
Though sunflowers are not finicky, they do appreciate loose, well-draining soil.
Choose a location that is sheltered from strong winds, perhaps along a fence or
near a building. Also consider the height that the particular variety will
reach.
HOW TO PLANT SUNFLOWER SEEDS
Once you have chosen your location,
dig down to a depth of 2 inches and turn the soil over to loosen it. Many
seeds, like poppies, need sun to germinate. This is not the case with
sunflowers and in fact need to be pressed 1 inch deep into the soil. If left on
the soil surface, more than likely birds will come and eat them before they
ever get anywhere close to germination. Final spacing should be 36” apart for
giant sunflowers, 24’ apart for regular-sized and 12” apart for miniature
varieties.
HOW TO CARE FOR SUNFLOWERS
Sunflowers blooms often last 30-45
days. Toward the end of this period, the green back of the flower head will
begin to turn yellow and will usually droop at this time. You will also see the
seeds swelling on the face of the sunflower. Cover the flowers with paper bags
to protect them from birds. Cut off the flower heads and leave inside the brown
paper bag. Store this bag in a well-ventilated place like a garage until fully
dry. Rub along the seeds with the palm of your hand and the seeds should fall
right out into your bag, or work over a cookie sheet.
To eat: Soak overnight in water, or
salt water. Drain, spread on a shallow baking sheet, and roast for 3 hours at
200F or until crisp.
Sunflowers are usually problem-free.
Plant early enough so that autumn frosts do not cut your sunflowers’ life cycle
short. OR for blooms throughout fall plant seeds every two weeks and you will
have a full season of blooms!
