Sunflowers are very unpretentious, but they love nutritious soil and abundant natural light and bloom until late autumn. Phlox, hollyhocks and dahlias perfectly complement flower beds with sunflowers; they look harmonious with daisies, and in the case of landscaping hedges, you can plant flowers in whole groups. To plant and care for plants, you need the seedlings themselves, a pitchfork or shovel, a rake and fertilizer. Before planting, the soil must be dug up with a pitchfork because the plants love well-drained soil. Break up large lumps and fertilize the sown area with compost to a depth of 5 cm, carefully leveling with a rake.
The holes need to be dug to a certain depth so that the seedlings are immersed in it in the same way as they were in the pot. Plant sunflowers, taking into account that the stem should be open, mulch the soil around. Water the planted plants and fertilize the soil next year, in the spring, which will significantly extend their flowering time. If flowers are propagated by seeds, they must be sown in the ground at the end of spring, and they will bloom in early July. You should only buy seedlings for planting that are healthy-looking and strong, and avoid weak, flaccid young shoots. In winter, be sure to cover the top with leaves in order to create a protective layer and increase the greenhouse effect. Sunflowers suffer greatly from slugs and snails, so straw or branches should be placed under the stems. By following all these rules, sunflowers reach large sizes and delight with their beautiful flowers.
