Advice & Tips:

• Fill a small 6cm pot with seed compost, shake & level firm with the base of another pot. Water well with a fine rose. Sow seeds individually into compost, pushing seeds to 1cm deep. Place in a propagator at 15-20°C or cover pot with cling film & leave in a warm room.
• When shoots appear, remove cling film. Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. Grow on in a minimum temperature of 10°C.
• Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out when the risk of frost has passed. Water well until established.
• Sow seeds in pre watered soil at a depth of 2cm in their flowering positions. Keep soil moist until seedlings are established. Thin out to 60cm apart.
• Do not remove spent sunflower heads. They provide attractive autumn seed heads which are great for providing wild birds with a treat.
