Choose a position in full sun on well drained soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm in drills spaced 45cm apart and cover seed with its own depth of soil to exclude light. Water the ground regularly especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes up to 21 days. When sunflower seedlings are large enough to handle thin them out to 30cm apart. Alternatively sow indoors in individual 7.5cm pots from March to April at a temperature of 20-25C. Once germinated grow sunflower plants on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed. Feed and water sunflower plants regularly. Stake sunflower stems with tall canes to prevent wind damage.Quantity: 1 packet of 12 seeds
