Sunflowers need full sun; see 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day – the more the better if you are trying to grow them to their maximum potential. Choose a well-drained location, and prepare your soil by digging an area of about 2-3 feet in circumference to a depth of about 2 feet.
Growing red sunflowers is easy if you take the time to plant them and give any care they need. I lucked into some red sunflower seeds in a seed swap in 2020, where the bride saved the seeds from their wedding. Truly, I was amazed at how readily the red sunflower seeds sprouted and grew indoors back in April.
To plant sunflowers: Space seeds about 6 inches apart in a shallow trench between 1 and 2 inches deep. In sandy soil, 2 inches deep is better. Cover and keep watered until seeds sprout in 7 to 10 days.. . . . .364011235888!]0000000000000009783314147102!]
