Plant seeds about ½ inch (1 cm) deep in well-drained soil in full sun and keep moist until seedlings appear, usually in 7–14 days. Thin to 10–18 inches apart. For a longer display, sow a few seeds every 2–3 weeks through late spring and early summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive plants at least 6–8 hours of direct sun each day. Water moderately, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged, and let the surface dry slightly between waterings once plants are established. Feed lightly now and then with a balanced fertiliser. Avoid overcrowding, and use a small stake if plants become top-heavy. For vases, cut flowers in the early morning just as the petals begin to open.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45571013443767,"sku":"PL-21DEC-24","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/MiniatureSunflower3.png?v=1766807117","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/miniature-sunflower-desi-seeds-helianthus-annuus-dwarf-sunflower-for-pots-gardens","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
