Description
SUNFLOWERS 900 to 1,900 seeds per oz. Direct sow seeds after all danger of frost is past and soil has warmed up. Place seeds 1-1.5″ deep, 6-9″ apart. After emergence, thin to a 12-18″ spacing, saving the most healthy plants. Seeds can also be started indoors and transplanted outdoors for earlier blooms. You will need 120,000 seeds per acre or 200 seeds per 100′ row. HARVEST: For fresh cut flowers, cut blooms as soon as they are fully open. For bird food, let heads mature before cutting. Dry heads in the sun or under cover in a dry place. After heads are dry, hang whole head outside for the birds or rub heads over a pail with a frame made with 1/4″ hardware cloth. Seeds can also be toasted and enjoyed as a nutritional snack.

We grew Autumn Beauty and Sunbright F1 summer of 2020. All seeds we sowed by hand, really just tossing seeds around a small area. These flowers came in so perfectly!
