How to Grow and Care for Red Wave Hybrid Sunflower Seeds
Planting:
- Plant seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date when the soil has warmed up to about 55°F (13°C).
- Sow seeds 1–2 inches deep in well-draining, fertile soil, spacing them about 12–18 inches apart to allow the plants to grow strong and healthy.
- If starting indoors, sow seeds 3–4 weeks before the last frost and transplant them outdoors once the weather has warmed up.
Growth Conditions:
- Sunlight: Red Wave Sunflowers thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce strong, healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
- Soil: These sunflowers prefer well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5). They perform well in moderately fertile soils but can adapt to a variety of soil types.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering. The soil should be moist but well-drained, as these plants do not like waterlogged conditions.
Care:
- Water deeply and regularly, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist, but avoid stagnant water around the roots.
- Apply a balanced fertilizer once or twice during the growing season to promote strong growth and abundant blooms.
- Support the plants by staking if needed, especially if growing in areas prone to wind.
- Deadhead spent flowers to encourage the development of additional blooms and to keep the plants looking tidy.
