For best performance, plant Tall Sungold sunflower seeds in late spring following the final frost. Sunflowers like warm soil to sprout; therefore, wait at least 60°F (16°C). In case your area is extremely cold, you may start sowing the seeds indoors a few weeks before the last frost.

Sunlight-deprived tall Sungold sunflowers like and prosper in rich and well-drained soil. Begin by selecting a sunny location because sunflowers need at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Second, turn over the earth with a shovel and incorporate compost or organic material. The heavy root systems dig in and become established.

Then planting. Plant small holes one inch deep and six inches wide with caution. Plant one seed in each and cover very lightly with soil. Water so that the ground will be moist but not wet. Plant two feet apart in rows so that growing space can expand.

Seven to ten days after sowing, seedlings will be apparent. Maintain soil moist all the time but never soggy. Thin out seedlings and transplant the healthiest ones 12 to 18 inches apart when they are a few inches tall.

Sunflowers are very low maintenance once they are planted. Water them fairly often every week, but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. During times of drought, water them more so they do not wilt. When sunflowers get too tall and start to lean over, stake them so they will not fall over.

To encourage healthy growth, use a balanced fertilizer every month. Do not over-fertilize with nitrogen since that will yield more leaves and fewer flowers. Deadheading will give more flowers, but to provide seeds for birds or to reseed, let some of the flowers dry naturally. Rudbeckia purple red shares the same weather conditions.
