Compost is a wonderful form of organic matter with a good balance of nutrients and an ideal pH level. it can be added to your planting area at any time. If compost is not available. top dress the soil after planting with 1-2 inches of organic mulch. which will begin to breakdown into compost.

Mulches also help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures. For annuals an organic mulch of shredded leaves lends a natural look to the bed and will improve the soil as it breaks down in time. Always keep mulches off a plant's stems to prevent possible rot. Keep soil evenly moist but not wet. Once established sunflowers can tolerate drought. No fertilizer is needed unless the soil is poor. Do not over fertilize. Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area. Some varieties only produce one bloom so once the bloom is spent. the plant may be removed.

To harvest the seeds. cut the heads off after the stalks are quite dry but before fall or winter rains come. Check the flower heads for maturity to see if the florets in the center of the flower disk have shriveled and the back of the flower head is turning yellow. or the head is starting to droop. Cut flower-heads with a foot of the stalk attached. Hang heads in a warm. dry. well-ventilated place so the seeds may fully ripen and dry. Cheesecloth. netting or a paper bag with holes punched in for ventilation should be placed over the head to protect the seeds and to collect those that may drop from drying. Shorter varieties may be grown in containers. Be sure to use a commercial potting mix. Pollenless varieties make terrific cut flowers.

Blue Lace Sunflower Seeds
For every order we generate. we donate $1 to the World Conservation Organization (WCO). About Sunflowers The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant with a sizeable daisy-like flower face. Its scientific name comes from the Greek words helios (“sun”) and anthos (“flower”). The flowers come in many colors (yellow. blue.purple.black.white.green.pink.red. orange. maroon. brown). but they are commonly bright yellow with brown centers that ripen into heavy heads filled with seeds. Sunflowers make excellent cut flowers. and many attract bees. birds. and butterflies. Sunflowers are heliotropic. which means that they turn their flowers to follow the movement of the Sun across the sky from east to west and then return at night to face the east. ready again for the morning sun. A moistish environment is all the seeds need. there are no need for too much water or fertilizer in the germination.Generally 3 to 4 weeks it will sprout. When to Plant Sunflowers It's best to sow sunflower seeds directly into the garden (or outdoor containers) after the danger of spring frost has passed. anytime after soils have warmed to at least 50°F (10°C). In the northern half of the U.S. and in Canada. this will fall between April and mid-June. In the South. this will probably occur in mid-March or early April. Sunflowers dislike having their roots disturbed. so we recommend direct sowing instead of transplanting. Planting Sunflower Seeds Sunflowers should be planted 1 to 1½ inches deep and about 6 inches apart after the soil has thoroughly warmed. If you wish. you can plant multiple seeds and thin them to the strongest contenders when the plants are six inches tall. Give plants plenty of room. especially for low-growing varieties that will branch out. Make rows about 30 inches apart. (For very small varieties. plant closer together.) A light application of fertilizer mixed in at planting time will encourage strong root growth to protect them from blowing over in the wind. Experiment with plantings staggered over 5 to 6 weeks to keep enjoying continuous blooms. If you see birds scratching around for the seeds. spread netting over the planted area until seeds germinate.

Mulches also help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures. For annuals an organic mulch of shredded leaves lends a natural look to the bed and will improve the soil as it breaks down in time. Always keep mulches off a plant's stems to prevent possible rot. Keep soil evenly moist but not wet. Once established sunflowers can tolerate drought. No fertilizer is needed unless the soil is poor. Do not over fertilize. Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area. Some varieties only produce one bloom so once the bloom is spent. the plant may be removed.

Sunflowers send down long taproots that can be stunted in small pots. Once all danger of frost has passed and both daytime and nighttime temperatures reach 55F to 60F you are ready to sow your sunflower seeds. WHERE TO PLANT SUNFLOWER SEEDSSunflowers grow best in full-sun locations – receiving at least 6 to 8 hours of full sun exposure per day. Though sunflowers are not finicky. they do appreciate loose. well-draining soil. Choose a location that is sheltered from strong winds. perhaps along a fence or near a building. Also consider the height that the particular variety will reach. HOW TO PLANT SUNFLOWER SEEDSOnce you have chosen your location. dig down to a depth of 2 inches and turn the soil over to loosen it. Many seeds. like poppies. need sun to germinate. This is not the case with sunflowers and in fact need to be pressed 1 inch deep into the soil. If left on the soil surface. more than likely birds will come and eat them before they ever get anywhere close to germination. Final spacing should be 36” apart for giant sunflowers. 24' apart for regular-sized and 12” apart for miniature varieties. HOW TO CARE FOR SUNFLOWERSSunflowers are usually problem-free. Plant early enough so that autumn frosts do not cut your sunflowers' life cycle short. Too much rainfall before and after germination can cause the seeds to rot or bring on downy mildew. Be sure to seed after the rainy season to avoid this. If you would like to harvest the seeds to either replant next year. wait until the end of the bloom cycle. Sunflowers blooms often last 30-45 days. Toward the end of this period. the green back of the flower head will begin to turn yellow and will usually droop at this time. You will also see the seeds swelling on the face of the sunflower. Cover the flowers with paper bags to protect them from birds. Cut off the flower heads and leave inside the brown paper bag. Store this bag in a well-ventilated place like a garage until fully dry. Rub along the seeds with the palm of your hand and the seeds should fall right out into your bag. or work over a cookie sheet. Store seeds in a cool. dry environment until you are ready to reseed next year. To eat: Soak overnight in water. or salt water. Drain. spread on a shallow baking sheet. and roast for 3 hours at 200F or until crisp.
