Choose the Right Variety: There are many varieties of sunflowers, ranging from small to giant, and from ornamental to those grown for seeds. Choose a variety that suits your purpose. Select a Suitable Location: Sunflowers thrive in full sun, so choose a spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure the soil is well-draining. Prepare the Soil: Sunflowers prefer well-drained soil that is moderately fertile. You can enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure. Ensure the soil pH is between 6.0 and 7.5. Sow the Seeds: Sow the seeds directly into the garden or in containers if you plan to transplant them later. Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 6-12 inches apart, depending on the variety. Watering: Water the seeds thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, until the seedlings are established.
