Approx 20 seeds in the pack

Sunflower Big Size seeds – your ticket to growing magnificent sunflowers that steal the spotlight in any garden setting.

Sowing Season:

Sow these seeds in the springtime after the last frost has passed for optimal growth and development.

Sowing Instructions:

Prepare a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil. Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart, then gently cover them with soil. Water thoroughly and keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs, usually within 7-14 days. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to a spacing of 12-18 inches to allow ample room for growth.

Care Tips:

1. Sunlight: Sunflowers thrive in full sun, so be sure to plant them in a location where they’ll receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
2. Watering: While sunflowers are relatively drought-tolerant, consistent watering is crucial, especially during dry spells. Aim to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
3. Support: As sunflowers grow, they may require support to prevent them from toppling over in strong winds. Consider staking taller varieties or providing a trellis for support.
4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer once a month to encourage healthy growth and robust blooms.
5. Deadheading: Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and prevent the plant from going to seed prematurely.

Interesting Facts:

– Sunflowers are heliotropic, meaning they track the movement of the sun across the sky, facing east in the morning and west in the evening.
– The tallest sunflower on record reached a staggering height of 30 feet and 1 inch!
– Sunflower seeds are not only a favorite snack for humans but also a valuable food source for birds and other wildlife.
– Sunflower oil extracted from the seeds is widely used in cooking and skincare products due to its high vitamin E content and moisturizing properties.
