Pink Sunflower Seeds – Ornamental / Garden Sunflower (Helianthus annuus)

Sow seeds directly into garden beds or large containers once soil is warm (post-frost).
Plant seeds about 1–2 cm deep, spacing adequately. (Some sources recommend 1–2 inches depth for larger seeds — adapt based on seed size and soil)
Keep soil moist until germination — seeds typically sprout within 7–14 days under warm, sunny conditions.
Ensure seedlings receive full sun and are thinned or transplanted if overcrowded.

Sow after the last expected frost so soil is warm — sunflowers love warmth and sunlight.
Use stakes or supports for taller varieties to avoid stems bending under heavy flowers.
For container planting, use deep pots (≥ 30 cm) to accommodate root depth and allow full growth.
Ensure good drainage — waterlogging can harm seedlings.
Harvest blooms when fully open, or allow seed heads to mature if you plan to collect seeds (though ornamental varieties may not give edible seed yields).
