Materials:

• Sunflower seeds
• Multifeed Flowergro – a liquid fertiliser
• Stakes (optional)
• Wooden ice-cream sticks (from an arts & crafts shop)
• Permanent marker

Directions:

• Plant sunflower seeds early in the spring after all danger of frost has passed.
• Plant them about 3 centimetres deep and about a metre apart. If you’re planting sunflowers in a garden, plant them where they won’t shade shorter plants.
• Water the plants regularly and fertilise every three weeks with Multifeed Flowergro.
• When the seedlings appear, put compost around the base of each plant making sure the compost doesn’t touch the stems.
• Taller plants may need stakes for support.
