Grow Sunflower Sunspot plants in a sunny location in somewhat fertile well-drained soil. Keep soil weed free and moderately moist while plants are young. Once established, Sunflower plants are somewhat drought and heat tolerant. They will flower mid-summer through fall.
After danger of frost has passed, directly sow Sunspot Sunflower seeds into prepared seed beds that are weed free and the soil has been loosened. Space the flower seeds 3 inches apart, cover the seed 1/2 inch deep, and thin the Sunflower seedlings to 6 - 9 inches apart.
Temperature: 69 - 75F Average Germ Time: 10 - 15 days Light Required: No Depth: 1/2 inch Sowing Rate: 21 ounces per 1,000 square feet or 58 pounds per acre Moisture: Keep seed slightly moist but not wet Plant Spacing: 6 - 9 inches
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
