What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Tall Sungold Sunflower is easy to establish, whether direct-sown into warm garden soil in late spring or started early indoors.
-
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 branching stems adequate space to develop.
-
Indoor Sowing: For earlier summer blooms, start seeds indoors 2 to 3 weeks before the last expected spring frost using plantable peat pots or Jiffy 7s to prevent root shock during transplanting. Maintain a temperature of 21°C for the 5 to 10 day germination period. 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 formula) to support sturdy stem structure and continuous double-flower production.
