Germination of

Helianthus annuus

Dwarf Sunflower, Sunflower 'Teddy Bear', Helianthus annuus 'Teddy Bear', Teddy Bear Sunflower

Helianthus annuus

- Sow seeds directly outdoors after last frost date. - Plant seeds ½ inch deep in well-draining soil. - Maintain a temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C). - Keep soil consistently moist. - Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once established.

Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions. 

Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here.  Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only.  Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.

 

It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
