Details: How to Plant Sunflower Seeds: Timing: Direct sow seeds after the last frost has passed and the soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (15°C). This is typically between April and May. For continuous blooms, stagger planting every 2-3 weeks until mid-summer. Location: Choose a sunny spot with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure the location is sheltered from strong winds. Sunflowers are not too picky about soil but prefer well-draining soil. Planting: Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 12-18 inches and removing any debris. Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep and 6 inches apart. For larger varieties, space 12-18 inches apart. Cover the seeds with soil and water gently but thoroughly. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and early growth. Thinning: Once seedlings reach 6 inches tall, thin them out, leaving the strongest plant every 12-18 inches (depending on the variety). Care: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Fertilize lightly at planting time with a balanced fertilizer, if desired. Stake taller varieties to prevent them from falling over in wind. Additional Tips: Consider the mature height of your chosen sunflower variety when spacing seeds. Harvest sunflower heads when the back turns brown and the petals wilt. By following these steps, you can successfully plant sunflower seeds and enjoy their vibrant blooms in your garden.
