- Sow spring under cover or direct sow mid spring. Place 2 seeds 10cm (4in) apart at each planting post, 30- 45cm (12-18in) apart. If both germinate, transplant one. Pinch out the tip at 30-45cm (12-18in) to encourage branching.
Care Tips
Sunflowers are hungry feeders. Improve the soil before planting out with plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost. Water your sunflower plants regularly. You will need to stake them if they’re in an exposed position.
