Helianthus (Sunflowers) seeds and plants

       


Sitemap

Helianthus seeds or 'Sunflower Seeds' should be sown directly into the ground where you want them to grow, we do not recommend transplanting seedlings.

  • A well drained humus rich soil with some blood and bone or well rotted manure added is best
  • Choose an area that has some protection from wind if possible.
  • Dig the area over and plant seeds to a depth of 12 cm.
  • Water in well and keep moist until germination.
  • Keep the area free from weeds and fertilize with a liquid seaweed fertilizer or similar.
