What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Lemon Sorbet Sunflower is easy to grow, whether direct-sown into warm garden beds or started early in peat pots.
-
Outdoor Direct Sowing (Recommended): Direct sow seeds outdoors in late May once soil has warmed thoroughly. Select a full-sun site 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 give the branching stems adequate room to mature.
-
Indoor Sowing: For an earlier start to summer blooms, sow seeds indoors 2 to 3 weeks before the last expected frost using plantable peat pots or Jiffy 7s to prevent root disturbance during transplanting. Maintain a temperature of 21°C for the 5 to 10 day germination period. Harden off seedlings before transplanting out into full sun.
-
Garden Care & Nutrition: Keep soil evenly moist throughout the season. Fertilize twice during the growing season with a granular 15-5-15 fertilizer (or equivalent balanced mix) to support strong stem structure and continuous flower development.
