DWARF SUNFLOWER SEEDS دوار الشمس القزمي

Growing Dwarf Sunflowers:

• Planting Time: Sow dwarf sunflower seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, when the soil has warmed. Alternatively, start seeds indoors 2-4 weeks before the last frost.
• Soil Requirements: Dwarf sunflowers thrive in well-draining soil that is moderately fertile. They grow well in a soil pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.
• Light: Sunflowers require full sun—at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flower production.
• Spacing: Plant seeds 6-12 inches apart in rows or containers. Dwarf varieties don’t need as much room as taller sunflowers, making them ideal for small gardens or pots.

Care Tips:

• Pruning: Deadheading (removing spent flowers) can help promote more blooms. Dwarf sunflowers often bloom throughout the growing season with minimal pruning.
• Fertilization: Sunflowers generally don’t need heavy fertilizing. If the soil is poor, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once at the time of planting.
• Support: Although dwarf varieties are compact, some may still benefit from light staking if they are exposed to strong winds.

Watering:

• Germination Stage: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination (typically 7-10 days). Avoid waterlogging, as seeds may rot in overly wet soil.
• Once Established: After the sunflowers are established, water deeply but infrequently, aiming for about 1 inch of water per week. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
• Watering Tip: Water at the base of the plant rather than overhead to prevent fungal issues and keep the foliage dry.

Temperature:

• Ideal Temperature: Dwarf sunflowers prefer warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-30°C) for best growth and blooming.
• Cold Tolerance: Sunflowers are not frost-tolerant. Ensure the soil has warmed up to at least 50°F (10°C) before planting outdoors.
• Hardiness Zones: Sunflowers grow as annuals in most regions but can thrive in USDA zones 3-9. They are well-suited to warm, sunny conditions.
