Sunflower Autumn Beauty – Growing Instructions
- Sow directly outdoors in May, 12mm deep.
- Alternatively, sow seeds between March-May indoors, in individual pots.
- This allows for faster germination and earlier flowering.
- Maintain a temperature of 20c. Seeds typically germinate in 14-21 days.
- Gradually acclimatise the seedlings to outdoor conditions before planting out, after the risk of frost has passed.
- Protect young seedlings from slugs and snails, especially during early growth.
- Provide support if needed, staking the stems to keep plants upright.
