Helianthus annuus. Annual. Open Pollinated. This very tall plant produces heavy yields of sunflowers seeds. The yellow flowers are humongous. When the backs turn yellow, cut the flower, and let it dry upside down. At the end of the season, watch for goldfinches, who love the seed! Impress your neighbors by growing a giant Sunflower! Easy for kids to grow. Great for school projects.

For tiny seeds, do not cover with seed starting mix. Just sprinkle the seeds on top. Transplant them outside in garden when seedlings are established. Plants can grow 1 - 3 ft tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply much and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant.

Water Requirements:

Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro periodically.

Harvest Tips:

Snip the stems with garden scissors when flowers are in full color.
