Yellow Sunflower Seeds

Yellow Sunflower Seeds offer a delightful addition to any garden, producing vibrant yellow blooms that brighten up spaces and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. These sunflowers are not only visually appealing but also provide edible seeds that can be harvested for snacking or culinary uses.

Planting and Care Instructions:

• Sowing Seeds: Plant Yellow Sunflower Seeds directly into the garden after the last frost date. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and space them 6 inches apart in rows. Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart once they have a few leaves.

• Sunlight and Soil: Sunflowers thrive in full sun and prefer well-draining, moderately fertile soil. They are drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering during dry periods.

• Maintenance: Remove weeds around the base of the plants to reduce competition for nutrients. Staking may be necessary for taller varieties to prevent wind damage.
