Plant from spring to early summer. Select a sunny spot receiving at least six hours of full sun daily. Prepare the planting area by removing sod and weeds. Sow seeds by broadcasting—evenly hand-scattering seeds mixed with a carrier material like sand or peat moss. Or, in cold climates, consider frost seeding by broadcasting seeds over snow-covered soil on a sunny, early spring day, leveraging the melting snow to settle the seeds into the soil. Sow seeds at the recommended rate, ensuring good seed-to-soil contact. Keep soil consistently moist until seeds sprout. In hot weather, water daily. Annuals will bloom the same year they are planted. Allow plants to flower and reseed to maintain the garden and support pollinators.

"These seeds came in a recyclable plastic bag so there's no waste, and they germinated within a week of planting with regular watering and rainfall. There's a nice mix of sunflowers and a huge quantity of seeds in this bag, enough to plant a large area. Sunflowers are a symbol of Ukrainian heritage, so I loved seeing these sprout and can only imagine how much my late family members would love seeing them sown on their property."
"Great mix of sunflower seeds. Beautiful striking colors. Great packaging with clear instructions. Can’t wait for ground to warm up and plant them and watch them grow. Highly recommend this mix."
"These seeds did a beautiful job producing flowers. The blooms were big and I didn’t have any issues with how they grew. I liked the package being resealable too!"
"I thought it was going to be a small bag, nope it was a big bag. The seeds are big as well. This is super exciting. I can not wait to see them bloom into many different colors. Such a beautiful way to start my garden."
"I received my seeds quickly and they were packaged for shipping correctly. My 5 year old daughter was excited to open the bag and plant them in our front yard barrel planter. Looking forward to them sprouting and yielding us a nice crop! The instructions were very easy to read."
"The packing was not much to brag about. The plants sprouted up in no time, about a week to two. They really make the garden come alive and very appealing."

"There is so many seeds that come in this one bag and it is enough to literally fill your whole yard with beautiful flowers. I can’t wait for the sunflowers to pop up around my home. I love sunflowers. The instructions was very easy. The sunflowers get really big and it doesn’t take that long for them to grow which everyone knows this is a must have if you have a lot of flowers in your yard. I’m so excited for them to bloom. I am a flower freak anything to do with landscaping I love it."
"I’m excited to see them bloom! The Ferry-Morse Sunsational Sunflower Seeds come in a mix of yellow and burgundy flowers, growing up to 5-8 feet tall. They’re great for full sun and tolerate drought and poor soil, which is perfect for my garden. The seeds attract pollinators too, which I love. So far, reviews are positive about germination, and I can’t wait to see these vibrant sunflowers in full bloom!"
"Im so looking forward to planting these in another couple molasses buckets we use for cows at the farm. I love to garden myself. These will help bring bees and pollinate all of my other plants I'm also growing."
