Soil Nutrient Requirements
Sunflowers are not too fussy, but they thrive well in soil with the pH value 6.0 – 7.5. These gorgeous flowers are heavy feeders, thus the soil needs to be enriched with organic matter or compost manure. It is recommended that you shelter the seeds from strong winds.
Sowing Method
Space Sunflower seeds about 6 inches apart in a shallow trench between 1 and 2 inches deep. In sandy soil, 2 inches deep is better. Cover and keep watered until Sunflower seeds sprout in 7 to 10 days.
