Planting instructions

Sowing and caring for sunflowers

Sunflowers grow very quickly and thrive best when sown immediately after the last frost. Alternatively, sow indoors in trays and transplant after 2 to 3 weeks.

Harvesting sunflowers & cutting them for vases

Cut them for vases as soon as the first petals start to open from the center and remove about three-quarters of the leaves from the stem. The flowers will last 7 to 10 days in a vase.
