Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart, then thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart once they are a few inches tall. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once established, water deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods, to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese sunflowers are relatively low-maintenance and generally resistant to pests and diseases. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, or leave some flowers on the plant to attract birds and provide seeds. Giant Teddy Bear Sunflower is an excellent choice for back borders, cutting gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Giant Teddy Bear Sunflower seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836003189046,"sku":"FOLIA2-1657","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6737789530_m11f.jpg?v=1793097084","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/giant-teddy-bear-sunflower-seeds-rare-yellow-blooms-easy-to-grow-50-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
