How to Sow and Plant

Prepare a sunny planting area with well-drained soil.

Sow Teddy Bear sunflower seeds about 1/4 inch deep either directly outdoors after the last frost or start indoors 3–4 weeks earlier.

Space seeds 6–12 inches apart.

Keep soil moist but not waterlogged until germination, which usually occurs in 7–14 days.

How to Grow

Grow in full sun with regular watering to maintain consistent moisture without soggy soil.

Ensure good air circulation to reduce disease risk.

Support taller plants if needed, although this compact variety usually stays stable without staking.

Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and tidy growth.

Tips

Plant in sunny spots with well-drained soil for best results.

Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent excessive leaf growth at the expense of blooms.

Protective netting can help if birds or pests are attracted to the seedlings.
