When to Plant Sunflowers
Sunflowers are easy to grow from seed and are perfect for gardening with children. They can be grown for most of the year as spring sowing seeds, summer flowering seeds, and also autumn flowering seeds. Knowing where to plant your sunflower seeds is just as crucial, with sunflowers needing at least six hours of sun and taller varieties having some form of protection from the wind.
How to Grow Sunflowers
Plant your sunflower seeds in well-drained soil that has been loosened beforehand. The seeds should be planted up to 1.5 inches deep and spaced accordingly for the variety you’ve chosen. Be sure to water the area thoroughly during the germination process. Sunflowers are drought-tolerant plants, and consistent watering is essential to get the best return from your seeds.
