How to Grow
Direct sow after all danger of frost — sunflowers dislike root disturbance, so transplanting isn't recommended. Water deeply but infrequently once established to encourage strong roots. Because this is a branching variety, resist the urge to top it; let it send up multiple stems on its own for a longer harvest window.
Good to Know
Branching sunflowers give you weeks of continuous stems instead of one big bloom and done — succession sow every 2–3 weeks for a steady supply through the season.
