Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Florenza sunflowers are perfect for garden borders and cutting gardens. These sunflowers thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, and they are easy to grow with minimal care. Regular watering during dry spells helps them grow even better, though they are fairly drought-tolerant once established​.

When to Grow

Sow Florenza sunflower seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, when soil temperatures reach at least 50 F. If you prefer an early start, you can sow seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost, then carefully transplant them outside after hardening off.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in well-draining soil, spacing them about 18-24 inches apart. Keep the soil moist during germination, which typically takes 7-14 days. Florenza sunflowers are branching, so they may require staking if grown in windy areas​.

How to Grow

Florenza sunflowers bloom within 70-80 days after planting, flowering from summer through early fall. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and use mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. These sunflowers are branching and produce multiple blooms, making them ideal for cut flowers.

How to Save
  • When petals die back and heads begin to dry and turn brown, place a paper bag over the heads to protect seeds from birds.
  • After a few days, the heads will dry to a dark brown. Bring the heads indoors and hang them upside down in a dry area in direct sunlight for up to a week, shaking seeds free each day.
  • Store in a cool, dark, dry place.
