Hi, iam Victor Walker, Don’t worry, it’s one day closer to the weekend.
Wow, planting sunflowers is such a great way to brighten up your garden! Not only are they beautiful, but they’re also easy to grow and require minimal maintenance. Plus, you can enjoy their cheerful blooms all summer long. So why not give it a try? You won’t regret it - I promise!
What Not To Plant Next To Sunflowers? [Solved]
Yikes! Potatoes, hyssop, and both herb fennel and Florence fennel don’t mix well with sunflowers. So, if you’re planting a garden with sunflowers, it’s best to steer clear of these crops.
Choose a Location: Select an area of your garden that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Prepare the Soil: Till the soil to a depth of 8-10 inches and mix in compost or other organic matter to improve drainage and fertility.
Plant Seeds: Plant sunflower seeds 1 inch deep, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in rows that are 3 feet apart.
Water Regularly: Water your sunflowers regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy, until they reach maturity (about 90 days).
Fertilize: Apply a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season to ensure healthy growth and abundant blooms.
Stake Tall Varieties: If you’re growing tall varieties of sunflowers, use stakes or cages to support their stems as they grow taller than 4 feet tall so they don’t topple over in windy conditions or heavy rainstorms.
Harvest Sunflower Heads: When the back of the flower head turns yellow and begins to droop, it is time to harvest your sunflower heads for seeds or cut flowers for bouquets!
Sunflowers are a great way to brighten up any garden! They’re easy to grow and they love the sun, so you can’t go wrong. Plus, they look gorgeous - their vibrant yellow petals will really make your outdoor space pop. So why not give it a try? Plant some sunflowers and watch them bloom!
