How to grow sunflowers

You are here: Planting / Sunflowers...


Sunflowers grow best in locations with full sun. They are remarkably tough and will grow in any kind of soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Long beloved as part of the rural landscape, sunflowers have been embraced by gardeners as an ornamental plant relatively recently. Responding to this interest, breeders in Germany, Japan and the U.S. have developed types particularly suitable for home gardens.

Name:Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a genus of plants comprising about 70 species in the family Asteraceae.
Description:Sunflowers are usually tall annuals, that grow to a height of 50-400 centimeters (20-157 in). The rough and hairy stem is branched in the upper part in wild plants but is usually unbranched in domesticated cultivars. The petiolate leaves are dentate and often sticky.
Water:Sunflowers thrive with regular watering. However, daily watering is not a requirement when growing sunflowers.
Light:As its name implies, the common sunflower loves sun.
 

How and when you should plant sunflower seeds

While sunflowers can be started indoors, they work best if they're moved outdoors within a week. They grow best at temperatures between 64 and 91°F (18-33°C), but you can give it at lower temperatures, once the last frost has passed. Fold the seeds in a damp paper towel. Moisten a paper towel slightly, so it is damp but not soaked or dripping. Place the sunflower seeds on one half of the towel, then fold it over to cover them. Keep the paper towels in a plastic bag. Put the damp paper towels in a plastic bag. Check on them once or twice a day, and continue once the seeds have sprouted. Typically, you'll see sprouts emerge from most of the seeds within 48 hours. Once this happens, move on to planting the seeds. Clip the edge of the seed shells (if necessary). If the seeds don't sprout within two or three days, try using a fingernail clipper to remove the edge of the shell. Be careful not to damage the seed inside. Add a few more drops of water if the paper towels are drying out.
