Organic sunflower seeds are easy-to-grow seeds that produce tall, vibrant sunflowers known for their bright yellow petals and edible seeds. They are perfect for home gardens, ornamental borders, or even for harvesting seeds.
Prepare well-drained soil by loosening it and removing stones and weeds.
If soil is heavy or clayey, lighten it by mixing in some sand.
- Seeds can be sown directly in rows or in small groups of 2-3 seeds per hole. Thin seedlings later to keep the strongest plant per spot.
- Keep soil moist but not waterlogged during germination. Sunflower seeds typically germinate in 7 to 14 days at temperatures between 20 and 25°C.
- Tall sunflower varieties may require staking or support to prevent wind damage
Protect young seedlings from slugs and snails using physical barriers like cloches or cut plastic bottles.
- Sunflowers prefer well-drained soil and do not like waterlogged conditions. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
