Plants dislike root disturbance, but sowing indoors and then transplanting the first crop outdoors can be a successful way to get first-early sunflowers. Succession-sow every 1-2 weeks and/or plant multiple varieties with varied days to maturity for continuous harvest.

Harvesting/Vase Life:
Harvest as soon as the first petals on a bloom are starting to unfurl and strip ¾ of the leaves from the stem for the longest vase life. No preservative needed.
