Details: How to Sow Sunflower Seeds: Timing: Outdoors: Direct sow seeds after the last frost when the soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (15°C), typically in late spring (April-May). Indoors: Start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors when seedlings have a few true leaves and the soil is warm. Location: Sunlight: Choose a sunny spot with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Soil: Well-draining soil with average fertility. Loosen the soil to a depth of 12-18 inches and remove any weeds or debris. Sowing Seeds: Direct Sowing: Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep and 6 inches apart for smaller varieties, or 12-24 inches apart for larger varieties. Space rows 2-3 feet apart to allow for adequate growth. Cover seeds with soil and water thoroughly. Starting Indoors: Use biodegradable pots filled with seed-starting mix. Plant one seed per pot, 1-2 inches deep. Keep the soil moist and warm (70-85°F). Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors after the last frost. Care after Sowing: Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and early growth. Once established, water deeply but less frequently. Thinning (Direct Sowing): Once seedlings are 6 inches tall, thin them out to the recommended spacing for your variety. Support (for taller varieties): Stake taller varieties to prevent them from falling over in wind.
