Directions

Sow the seeds directly outside in the spring after all danger of frost is past. Choose a sunny location. Or start your seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last spring frost. These sunflowers like rich, moist, but well-drained soil. They do not like to be over-fertilized. Water well when growing. Once mature, both varieties are drought tolerant.
