Care Instructions

Plant seeds directly into well-drained soil in a full sun location, about 1/2 inch deep and spaced 8-12 inches apart. Water regularly during germination and maintain consistent soil moisture until plants are established. Once grown, sunflower plants are relatively drought-tolerant but perform best with regular watering. No specific fertilization is required, but a balanced, slow-release fertilizer can promote vigorous growth. The plants are annuals.  Seeds can be harvested once fully mature and dry. A protective layer of mulch can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, supporting healthy growth over the growing season.
