How To Grow

• Fill a container or prepare garden soil with Serbajadi Seed Starter and lightly moisten with a water spray.
• Sow seeds about 2-3cm deep (sunflower seeds are large and need deeper planting) and mist gently with water.
• Apply Serbajadi Organic Seed Booster to enhance germination and encourage strong seedling development.
• Plant in a location with full sunlight (at least 6-8 hours daily). Space plants 45-60cm apart to allow for their impressive size. Stake tall varieties for support in windy areas. Water regularly until established, then reduce watering – sunflowers are drought-tolerant once mature.

Gardening Tip: Young sunflowers are heliotropic – they follow the sun across the sky! Once the flower heads mature, they typically face east. To harvest seeds, leave flower heads on the plant until the back turns brown and seeds are plump. Cover with netting if you want to beat the birds to the harvest!
