How to grow Sunflowers

[@FuttBucker42069]

Did they give you seeds when they lived their life?

Well done, so cool 🌻

[@TheCustomCarpenter]

Thank you!

I have bought both types the same brand as you which i bought from Lidl supermarket. Wow i didnt know they were so different in size!! I thought the dwarf ones would be at least 3ft and the regular ones above 5ft. I'm just about to start growing them next month but i have started just a few indoors because i am so impatient.

[@TheCustomCarpenter]

Hi Thank you for watching and commenting. given the right conditions and sunlight they can grow to be over 3 metres tall, I didn't believe it myself until I saw the ones I gave my dad. I think now is a good time to plant them, this way they will have the maximum time to grow, and may even pass the 3metre height.

[@TheCustomCarpenter]

The bent one turned out to be a strong one, didn't want to give up

[@TheCustomCarpenter]

Hi, thanks for watching. It would have been recorded around end of sept early October.

That's beautiful sunflowers blooming. I don't know what did I do wrong with my seeds but none of the seeds are sprouting. I did exactly like yours to germinate the seeds and I live in tropical area. 26-31 Celcius.

[@TheCustomCarpenter]

Thank you, that’s strange. After you did the water and paper towel did you place in a dark place like a draw to stop light getting to them. Also you could try placing them somewhere a bit cooler just to start them off.

[@NoeRieNs]

@@TheCustomCarpenter i put the paper towel in the container and put in dark place for three days. I checked everyday but they didn't sprout. Now I am gonna try to sow them in the soil after soaking. I hope I get a good result. Finger cross 🤞

[@TheCustomCarpenter]

Leave them another couple of days, mine took about 5 days before they all sprouted. Open the container a little and try and see if the seed shells have cracked. Also are the seeds old that you have? Have they been scored well? Fingers crossed you get good results. 😊

[@TheCustomCarpenter]

Sorry, meant to say ‘stored’ not ‘scored’

[@NoeRieNs]

Hello.. I came back just wanted to say that my sunflower seeds which I sow them directly did very well. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@kerwinkalaw6741]

What type of sunflower is that;

[@TheCustomCarpenter]

Just your regular sunflower 🌻. I got my seeds from a local supermarket here in the uk, packet advised of max height of 3 metres and we definitely got that’s if not more. The smaller ones were labelled as ‘Dwarf Sunflowers’ I’m delighted with the results and how nice they look.

[@kerwinkalaw6741]

@@TheCustomCarpenter did you placed them under full sun? Or it needs to have shade when it's the hottest?

[@TheCustomCarpenter]

Kerwin Kalaw I didn't have them in full sun, 70% sun and 30% shade with regular watering.
