Growing Instructions from Seeds

Direct sowing is preferred.

Sow seeds approximately:

2–3 cm deep

Keep the soil evenly moist until germination.

After emergence, retain healthy seedlings and provide strong sunlight.

Germination

7–14 days

For best results:

• Maintain warm temperatures

• Keep soil lightly moist

• Provide good drainage

• Avoid overwatering

• Provide strong light after germination

Plant Spacing

Maintain approximately:

20–30 cm / 8–12 inches between plants

for healthy branching and airflow.

Sunlight

Provide:

Full sun — preferably 6–8 hours or more of direct sunlight daily.

Watering

Water regularly while seedlings establish.

Once established, water when the upper soil layer begins to dry.

Avoid continuous waterlogging.

Growth & Flowering

Teddy Bear Sunflower develops a compact, bushy and branching growth habit and generally remains much shorter than standard tall sunflower varieties.

Its distinctive double blooms have a soft, fluffy appearance with densely packed golden-yellow petals.

Regular removal of faded flowers can help maintain a neat appearance and encourage continued flowering.

Feeding

Mix GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost into the soil before sowing.

Moderate feeding during active growth is sufficient.

Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer.
