- Soil requirements: Velvet Queen Sunflowers prefer well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. They thrive in nutrient-rich soil but can tolerate poorer soils as long as they are not waterlogged.
- Sunlight needs: These sunflowers require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Water the seeds regularly, especially during dry periods. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Once established, sunflowers are relatively drought-tolerant but will benefit from consistent watering.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Velvet Queen Sunflower seeds is in the spring, after the last frost has passed and the soil has warmed up.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them approximately 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate growth and air circulation.
- Germination time: Velvet Queen Sunflower seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: These sunflowers usually reach maturity in about 75-90 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest Velvet Queen Sunflowers is when the back of the flower heads turn yellow and the seeds are plump and slightly loose. This is usually in the late summer to early fall.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the flower heads. Hang them upside down in a dry, well-ventilated area to allow the seeds to dry completely. Once dry, rub the seeds off the head and store them in a cool, dry place.
