They grow such sunflowers in flowerbeds and mixborders, combine them with crops of different height, decorate fences and hedges and create various flower compositions. Incredibly festive looking such flowers in summer bouquets - sunflowers can stand in water for 12-15 days.
Sunflower seeds of Red Sunshine have high germination rate and can be sown immediately in the open field in April-May. To sprout faster, you can pre-soak the seeds. For the plant, choose a sunny part of the garden, without draughts and shade, the soil - neutral, fertilized, loose, so that moisture does not accumulate at the roots of the plant. The seeds are deepened on 2,5-3 cm, abundantly watered. It is necessary to maintain a step between the seeds, about 40-50 cm, so that in the future, the grown sunflowers do not interfere with each other. Also, regular, abundant watering and increased nutrition, such as granulated superphosphate, cowpea with potassium sulfate, or boron solution, are important for the first time.
