Sow and Grow Sunflower Seeds for Autumn Beauty

Choose the Right Time: Plant sunflower seeds outdoors after the last frost when the soil has warmed up. In most regions, this is usually from late spring to early summer.

Select a Sunny Location: Sunflowers thrive in full sun, so choose a spot in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Prepare the Soil: Sunflowers prefer well-draining soil. Loosen the soil to a depth of about 12 inches and mix in some compost to add nutrients.

Sow the Seeds: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart for smaller varieties, or 12 inches apart for larger ones. If planting in rows, space the rows about 2-3 feet apart.

Water Thoroughly: After planting, water the area well to help settle the soil around the seeds.

Thin Seedlings: Once the Autumn Beauty sunflower seedlings emerge and are a few inches tall, thin them out so that they are spaced according to their mature size. This typically means leaving about 1-2 feet between smaller varieties and 2-3 feet between larger ones.

Support Taller Varieties: For taller sunflower varieties, you may need to provide support to prevent them from toppling over in strong winds. Use stakes or a trellis to keep them upright.

Ongoing Care: Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. Sunflowers are relatively drought-tolerant, so they don't need constant watering. Apply a balanced fertilizer if necessary, and keep an eye out for pests or diseases.

By following these steps, you should have a beautiful display of sunflowers in your garden, ready to bloom in the summer.
