Description

Sunflowers say summer like no other plant. Sunflower packet contains 35 seeds.

Sunflowers are annuals with showy, daisylike flower-heads that are usually 2-4 inches across and bright yellow (though occasionally red). Tall and course, the plants have creeping or tuberous roots and large, bristly leaves. Today, varieties have even been developed for small spaces and containers.

Most sunflowers are remarkably tough and easy to grow as long as the soil is not waterlogged. Most are heat- and drought-tolerant. They make excellent cut flowers and many are attractive to bees and birds.Smaller plants with big-time flower power. Striking compact, low-growing sunflower fills vase after beautiful vase with luminous, long-stemmed, brown-eyed, golden flowers. Heavy-branching, floriferous 20-30 feet tall plants will keep your home aglow with joyous blooms.

Planting and care

  • Water plants deeply but infrequently to encourage deep rooting
  • Feed plants only sparingly; over-fertilization can cause stems to break in the fall
  • Tall species and cultivars require support
  • Bamboo stakes are a good choice for any plant that has a strong, single stem and needs support for a short period of time

Sunflower Russian Giant care

  • Sunflowers grow best in locations with the direct sun (6 to 8 hours per day); they prefer long, hot summers to flower well
  • Sunflowers have long tap roots which need to stretch out so the plants prefer well-dug, loose, well-draining soil; in preparing a bed, dig down 2 feet in depth and about 3 feet across to ensure the soil isn’t too compact
  • Find a well-drained location, and prepare your soil by digging an area of about 2-3 feet in circumference to a depth of about 2 feet
  • Though they’re not too fussy, sunflowers thrive in slightly acidic to somewhat alkaline (pH 6
  • 0 to 7
  • Sunflowers are heavy feeders so the soil needs to be nutrient-rich with organic matter or composted (aged) manure
  • Or, work in a slow release granular fertilizer 8 inches deep into your soil
  • If possible, put seeds in a spot that is sheltered from strong winds, perhaps along with a fence or near a building
Sunlight Full Sun, Part Sun
Watering regularly
Soil Find a well-drained location, and prepare your soil by digging an area of about 2-3 feet in circumference to a depth of about 2 feet.
Temperature soil temperature :55 to 60 degrees F
Fertilizer Make sure you have potassium and phosphorus in the soil.
Harvest Season
  • You can begin to enjoy the bright sunflower blossoms several months after you planted seeds, but you will have to wait another month or so before you can eat sunflower seeds.
  • Although the exact timetable varies among cultivars, harvest time usually rolls round toward the end of summer.
  • For cut flowers, remove 1 foot or more of stem with the flower and plunge it into hot water immediately to draw out air.
  • For edible seeds, you must harvest the flowers after the leaves shrivel but before the seasonal rains.
  • The flower heads with 1 to 2 feet of stalk must spend another month hung in a dry, well-aired spot before you extract the seeds.

Beginner's Gardening Guide

The three most essential elements for seed germination are:
Water: Allows the seed to absorb moisture, activates enzymes, and breaks dormancy
Suitable temperature: A suitable temperature is necessary to initiate growth
Oxygen: Respiration requires oxygen, which provides energy.
Some plants may also have light requirements, but the first three are essential.

⭐The Before You Sow Checklist

Preparation makes all the difference. Get these basics sorted before you sow, and you'll avoid most common pitfalls.

Don’t use garden soil in containers—it compacts when wet, contains weeds, pests and diseases. Choose seed-sowing or quality multipurpose compost instead.We suggest a fine, free-draining, low-nutrient peat-free medium (young seedlings don’t need feeding).

For outdoor sowing, loosen soil to a fine tilth, rake level, and water the day before if dry.

💡How to Sow Seeds Indoors

Indoor sowing lets you start earlier and control conditions easily. Fill containers with compost, level it gently without compacting, then water well and drain.

Sow 2–3 seeds per cell or scatter thinly in trays as directed. Cover lightly with compost/vermiculite (or leave uncovered if light is needed). Label with plant name and sowing date.

Ideal for crops sensitive to root disturbance, such as carrots, parsnips, peas and beans. Prepare fine soil, make shallow drills, sow thinly, cover lightly and water gently. Thin seedlings when they develop true leaves.

📢How to Sow Seeds Outdoors

Ideal for crops sensitive to root disturbance, such as carrots, parsnips, peas and beans. Prepare fine soil, make shallow drills, sow thinly, cover lightly and water gently. Thin seedlings when they develop true leaves.

Pricking Out🌱

When seedlings have true leaves, transplant them into larger pots to avoid overcrowding.Fill pots with fresh compost, make a hole, and water seedlings first for easier lifting.

Lift them gently by the leaves (not stems) and firm compost around roots.Bury leggy seedlings (e.g., tomatoes) up to their lowest leaves.Water lightly and keep out of direct sun for a few days.

Common Problems

Seeds won't germinate: This could be due to using old seeds, incorrect temperature, sowing too deeply, or the compost drying out.
Leggy seedlings: This is a result of insufficient light. Move to a brighter spot, use grow lights or try planting deeper when transplanting.

🍃Hardening Off & Planting Out

Indoor-grown plants need hardening off to adapt outdoors.Place them outside in a sheltered spot by day for a week, bring in at night, then gradually leave them out overnight over another week.
Plant on a mild, cloudy day. Dig holes bigger than root balls, firm gently, water well. Protect from slugs and frost with fleece.
For continuous harvests, try succession sowing: sow small batches of quick-growing crops every 2–3 weeks.
