Hi Paul. When you purchase the seeds it should say the best time to plant them and the spacing. In WI I wait until late May. The soil has to be warm enough for them to germinate. Good Luck!
Thank you,
Thank you
What zone are you in Paul?
There are so many varieties, it can make your head spin. I feed the birds black oil sunflower seeds and they pop up everywhere and I just let them grow. I am in zone 9 and they grow almost year round for me with no effort on my part. Fantastic for the birds and bees! 🌞
It's best to do this in a pot because sunflowers will not grow in cool soil.
save your egg shells, fill with soil and plant your seed-fun for kids place in a sunny window-wait until late April when weather warms up in WI
Note that chipmunks, squirrels, birds and ground hogs love sunflowers!
