Planting And Care
- Water plants deeply but infrequently to encourage deep rooting
- Feed plants only sparingly; over-fertilization can cause stems to break in the fall
- Tall species and cultivars require support
- Bamboo stakes are a good choice for any plant that has a strong, single stem and needs support for a short period of time
Sunflower Large Bloom Care
- Sunflowers grow best in locations with the direct sun (6 to 8 hours per day); they prefer long, hot summers to flower well
- Sunflowers have long tap roots which need to stretch out so the plants prefer well-dug, loose, well-draining soil; in preparing a bed, dig down 2 feet in depth and about 3 feet across to ensure the soil isn't too compact
- Find a well-drained location, and prepare your soil by digging an area of about 2-3 feet in circumference to a depth of about 2 feet
- Though they're not too fussy, sunflowers thrive in slightly acidic to somewhat alkaline
- Sunflowers are heavy feeders so the soil needs to be nutrient-rich with organic matter or composted (aged) manure Or, work in a slow-release granular fertilizer 8 inches deep into your soil
- If possible, put seeds in a spot that is sheltered from strong winds, perhaps along a fence or near a building
