- Soil requirements: Heirloom sunflower seeds thrive in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. They prefer soil that is rich in organic matter.
- Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun, which means they need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Sunflowers need moderate watering. Water them deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Planting season: The best time to plant heirloom sunflower seeds is in the spring, after the last frost has passed and the soil has warmed up to at least 50°F (10°C).
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1 to 1.5 inches deep and space them 6 to 12 inches apart, depending on the variety. Rows should be spaced about 30 inches apart.
- Germination time: Heirloom sunflower seeds typically germinate within 7 to 10 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Sunflowers generally reach maturity in 70 to 100 days, depending on the variety.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest sunflower seeds is when the back of the flower head turns yellow and the seeds are plump and slightly loose. This usually occurs in late summer to early fall.
- Harvesting tips: Cut the flower heads with about 12 inches of stem attached and hang them upside down in a dry, well-ventilated area to finish drying. Once fully dry, rub the seeds from the head and store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
