Growing Instructions from Seeds

After emergence, retain the strongest seedlings and avoid unnecessary root disturbance.

Germination

7–14 days

For best results:

• Provide strong sunlight after emergence

Plant Spacing

Maintain approximately:

30–45 cm / 12–18 inches between plants

Sunlight

Provide:

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

Watering

Water regularly during establishment.

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

Avoid continuous waterlogging.

Growth & Flowering

Sunflower Taiyo develops a tall, strong and upright growth habit with large, classic sunflower blooms.

Its golden-yellow petals and dark centres create a bold summer display and make the flowers suitable for cutting.

Tall plants may benefit from staking in exposed or windy locations.

Feeding

Mix GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost into the soil before sowing.

Moderate feeding during active growth supports strong stems and good flowering.

Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer.
