Planting & Care

Sow Purple Heart Sunflower seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, planting about 1/2 inch deep and 6 inches apart, then thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they are established. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and early growth, then water regularly during dry spells. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.

Remove spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and to prevent unwanted self-seeding if desired. Sunflowers are generally low-maintenance once established, but they perform best with regular watering and adequate spacing for good air circulation.
