Some as tall as my House!
I've been ordering from Seed Needs for a few years and good a bumper crop of sunflowers this year with some simple steps - 1) Soak Overnight 2) Keep wet in folded paper towel for a couple days until they sprout 3) Plant in a place where you can cover your planter with netting to keep birds from snacking on them (this is where I've failed in the past - birds eating the sprouted seeds) 4) Once they are tall enough seedlings to touch the netting, remove it. They should be well on their way. 5) shake off ants regularly to discourage aphids. 6) They Love water and when watered properly, they can last for days. I hope you enjoy all the varieties as much as I am!
