Have you ever driven past a field of monster Sunflowers and been astonished by their massive presence? Well, these are them. Not only are these the tallest Sunflowers we've ever grown but they have the strongest stalks—almost worthy of young sapling status. They'll stay standing tall all summer long and into late fall, when you might just have to saw them down! These competition-winning American Giants are single-stemmed with ginormous, 10" wide, brilliant yellow-petaled, russet-brown-centered flowers reaching toward the sun! In the summer, they make amazing border hedges. In the fall, they are gigantic feeders as the birds feast on their huge seeds. Be sure to save some of the heads for yourself, too--the seeds are great for snacking. Height: Up to 16'!
Helianthus annuus. Originally a North American native, it is said that the Mormons strew Sunflower seeds along their journey to Utah so that others could follow their sunny path months later. Easy to grow in bright sunlight, our varieties have smaller centers and unusual color combinations. Direct-sow in well-draining soil with good sunlight every three weeks after the last spring frost date for continual blooms throughout the summer. Bee friendly. Deer resistant. Annual.
Sunflowers Sowing Instructions
Planting Depth:1/2” Seed Spacing:4”-5” Plant Spacing:12”-24” Days to Germination: 7-14 days Germination Temperature:65°-85°F
Helianthus annuus. Easy to grow in full sunlight,
they should be sown in well-draining, loamy soil
after the danger of frost has passed. Plant the
seeds 1⁄2" deep and keep the seedbed uniformly
moist until the seedlings emerge, about 10 days
after sowing. Weed carefully and keep well-watered
until established.
You may also start Sunflowers indoors 3 weeks
before the last frost date. Plant seeds 1⁄2" deep in
pots of good seed-starting mix at 65° to 85°F.
Provide even moisture, strong light and good
ventilation. When the seedlings are large enough
to handle, thin or transplant them 12" to 24"
apart in the garden.
A good cut flower, this cheerful garden favorite
may be planted successively every 3 weeks in the
spring and early summer for more continuous
blooms.
