How to Plant Red Sunflower from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Cool Climates: Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date.
  • Warm Climates: Can be planted throughout spring and summer.

Preparing the Planting Site

  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  2. Loosen the soil and mix in compost or organic matter for added nutrients.
  3. Space plants 12-24 inches apart, depending on variety size.

Starting Seeds

Outdoors (Recommended for Best Results): Plant seeds ½ inch deep and 6 inches apart. Water gently to moisten the soil but avoid waterlogging. Germination occurs in 7-14 days, depending on temperature.

Indoors: Start seeds 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Use peat pots or biodegradable seed trays to prevent root disturbance. Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have 2-3 sets of true leaves.

Thinning Seedlings

  • Once seedlings are 3-4 inches tall, thin them to 12-24 inches apart.
  • This ensures stronger plants with better airflow.

Pro Tip

For giant blooms, feed them with balanced fertilizer during the growing season.

Bonus: To attract more pollinators, plant multiple varieties for a longer bloom period!

Getting to know your Red Sunflower

Red sunflowers are striking varieties of the common sunflower, featuring deep red to burgundy petals surrounding dark brown centers. They grow 5-8 feet tall in full sun and well-drained soil. Like traditional sunflowers, they follow the sun’s movement during the day (heliotropism). These sunflowers attract pollinators and produce edible seeds. They require regular watering but are drought-tolerant once established.
