Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have several true leaves, thin or transplant them to the recommended spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly Sunflower is adaptable and low-maintenance. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system; thereafter, it is quite drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, and cut back plants in late fall or early spring to tidy the garden. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Early Sunflower seeds (Heliopsis helianthoides).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67862007185718,"sku":"FSG-115","price":11.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7670432109_elyg.jpg?v=1793267661","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-early-sunflower-seeds-heliopsis-helianthoides-flowering-plant","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
