- Direct outdoors: Sow thinly in drills about 45 cm (18in) apart into a fine, prepared seedbed.

Care
Sunflowers thrive with plenty of sunshine and regular watering to keep soil evenly moist (but not waterlogged). Taller plants may benefit from light staking in exposed sites to support the heavy blooms. Regular watering during dry spells will maintain strong growth and vibrant blooms.
