Care Tips:

• Water sunflowers regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist.
• Apply a balanced fertilizer once a month to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
• Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
• Protect young seedlings from pests such as birds and rodents by covering them with netting or using deterrents.
• Monitor for signs of disease or pest infestation, and treat promptly if necessary.

Harvesting:

• Sunflower seeds are ready for harvest when the flower heads begin to droop and the backs turn yellow.
• Cut the flower heads from the stalks, leaving a few inches of stem attached.
• Hang the flower heads upside down in a dry, well-ventilated area to allow the seeds to fully mature and dry.
• Once the seeds are dry, remove them from the flower heads and store them in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
