Growing Non-GMO Balcony Beauty Sunflower Flower Seeds

These sunflowers can be directly sown outdoors or started indoors, depending on your climate and preference. For direct sowing, wait until the last frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 60 F. Sow seeds about 0.5 inch deep, placing 2–3 seeds per planting hole to ensure successful germination. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to one plant every 12 inches (30 cm) to allow enough space for growth. If starting indoors, plant seeds 2–4 weeks before the last frost date. This approach helps get a head start on the growing season. Transplant the seedlings outdoors once they have developed two sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed.

Balcony Beauty Sunflowers thrive in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. They prefer nutrient-rich soil, so consider adding compost or a balanced slow-release fertilizer before planting to provide adequate nutrients throughout the growing season. Ensure they receive full sunlight, as these sunflowers require at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and blooming. Balcony Beauty Sunflowers bloom from mid-summer to early fall.

While sunflowers are not highly fragrant, their cheerful yellow blooms with black centers add visual appeal and make them a delightful addition to any garden. They attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden. Although moderately deer-resistant, young plants may still be susceptible to deer browsing, so protective measures might be needed.
