What is the best season to plant sunflowers? Which month is the best to plant seeds?

The sunflower is a very easy to grow and beautiful flower. It is not afraid of heat or sunlight. It will germinate, grow and bloom wherever the seeds fall. If it produces seeds in autumn, you can collect them and continue to sow them in the spring of the following year, or you can propagate them by cuttings.

Sunflower planting season

There is no strict requirement for the planting time of sunflowers. They can be planted in spring, summer and autumn. It is best to sow in spring because the climate in spring is mild, suitable for plant growth and has a high survival rate. The specific time for planting sunflowers in greenhouses can be chosen in April.

The whole process of sunflower planting

Step 1 : When planting sunflowers, the seeds should be fresh. Leaving them for a long time will affect the germination rate. When sowing, prepare a flowerpot that is not too large to facilitate watering, because sunflower seeds are very small.

Step 2 : When preparing the soil, it is best to clean it up and not leave any stones. You can add some sand to it, so that the soil in the pot will be finer and the germination rate will be higher after sowing. Soak the seeds in water for a while before sowing, and then sow them after they germinate and turn white.

Step 3 : Cover with a thin layer of fine sand after sowing. When watering, do not use an ordinary watering can. It is best to use a spray so that the seeds will not be washed away. The soil in the pot should be moist without water accumulation.

Step 4 : Then place it in a well-ventilated, diffused-light place without strong light. As long as the temperature is suitable, it will germinate after a week with slightly diffused light.
