When to Sow Tall Cutting Mix Sunflower Seeds

Sow April to May. Plant out May to June.
For earlier sowings, sow indoors, individually in 7.5cm (3") pots at 20-25°C. When well grown, gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions before planting out after all risk of frost has passed in a well-drained soil in full sun or into containers.

Handy Tip

After cutting the first stem, keep plants watered and often side shoots will develop and produce a later flush of blooms to cut.
