To cultivate sunflowers, here are some tips:
Choose the right Connections Wordle location: Sunflowers need full sun, so select a spot in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Prepare the soil: Sunflowers prefer well-draining soil. Loosen the soil and remove any weeds or debris before planting.
Planting: Sow sunflower seeds directly into the soil after the last frost date in your area. Plant them about 1-2 inches deep and space them 6-12 inches apart, depending on the variety.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on rainfall and temperature.
Fertilizing: Sunflowers are not heavy feeders, but you can apply a balanced fertilizer during planting to encourage healthy growth. Follow the package instructions for application rates.
Support: If growing tall varieties, consider staking or providing support to prevent them from toppling over in strong winds.
Pest and disease control: Monitor your sunflowers for pests like aphids or caterpillars. Use organic pest control methods or consult with a local garden center for appropriate solutions.
Harvesting: Harvest sunflowers when the back of the flower head turns yellow and the seeds are plump and firm. Cut the stem about 12 inches below the flower head and hang them upside down in a dry, well-ventilated area to dry completely.
