FALSE SUNFLOWER
APPROXIMATE SEED COUNT PER PACKAGE: 50
All seed was grown in an open pollinated environment & harvested by hand here at Barefoot Ridge.
We cleaned, sorted and packaged all with care so you can share in the magic of growing all of these beautiful plants next season!
When to plant: You can plant false sunflower seeds in early spring or early fall. If you start them indoors, you should plant them 4–6 weeks before the last frost date.
Where to plant: False sunflowers prefer full sun or partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. They can tolerate a range of soil types, including nutrient-poor soils, and are relatively drought-tolerant once established.
How to plant: You can sow seeds directly outside or start them indoors:
Directly outside: Prepare the area by removing weeds and loosening the soil. Hand broadcast the seeds evenly over the area and lightly water them.
Indoors: Plant the seeds in rich, loamy, well-draining potting soil. Keep the soil moist but not over wet. After about 10 weeks, when the seedlings are ready, you can transplant them outside. Before transplanting, you should harden off the seedlings.
How to care for: False sunflowers are generally low-maintenance plants. You can encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding by deadheading spent blooms. You can also cut back the plant by half in early June to prevent it from flopping.
