When to Sow Valentine Sunflower Seeds

Flowers
July to September

Where to Sow
Sow seed thinly in drills 45cm (18″) apart in well cultivated soil raked to a fine tilth. Germination usually takes 15-21 days. For earlier sowings, sow indoors, individually in 7.5cm (3″) pots at 20-25°C. When well grown, gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions before planting out after all risk of frost has passed in a well drained soil in full sun.

What to do Next
When large enough to handle, thin to 45cm (18″) apart.

Handy Tip
