Planting And Care

Sunflowers grow best in locations with the direct sun (6 to 8 hours per day); they prefer long, hot summers to flower well

Sunlight	Full Sun, Part Sun
Watering	regularly
Soil	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.
Temperature	soil temperature :55 to 60 degrees F
Fertilizer	Make sure you have potassium and phosphorus in the soil.
Harvest Season	You can begin to enjoy the bright sunflower blossoms several months after you planted seeds, but you will have to wait another month or so before you can eat sunflower seeds. Although the exact timetable varies among cultivars, harvest time usually rolls round toward the end of summer. For cut flowers, remove 1 foot or more of stem with the flower and plunge it into hot water immediately to draw out air. For edible seeds, you must harvest the flowers after the leaves shrivel but before the seasonal rains. The flower heads with 1 to 2 feet of stalk must spend another month hung in a dry, well-aired spot before you extract the seeds.
