What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Colour Fashion Mixed Sunflowers are simple to establish whether sown directly into warm garden soil or started early in peat pots.
-
Outdoor Direct Sowing (Recommended): Direct sow seeds outdoors in late May once soil has warmed thoroughly. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Sow seeds 6 to 12 mm deep and 7.5 to 10 cm apart. Thin or transplant seedlings to 30 to 45 cm apart to ensure good air movement and room for branching.
-
Indoor Sowing: For an earlier start, sow seeds indoors 2 to 3 weeks before your last frost using plantable peat pots or Jiffy 7s to prevent root disturbance. Maintain a temperature of 21°C for germination, which takes 5 to 10 days. Harden off seedlings carefully before transplanting out to a full-sun location.
-
Garden Care & Nutrition: Keep soil evenly moist throughout the growing season. Feed plants twice during the season with a granular 15-5-15 fertilizer (or equivalent balanced mix) to support sturdy stems and heavy flower production.
