- Instructions
-
-
Any time after the last frost is prime growing season. Use a mix of Mammoth sunflower seeds (for height) and Teddy Bear or Dwarf sunflower seeds (to fill in the walls).
-
Following package directions for planting, set the seeds in a horseshoe shape.
-
Choose a sunny spot where the soil is dry and drains well--sunflowers can take the heat but will suffer from overwatering.
-
- Tips:
- While waiting for the seeds to sprout (it takes two to three weeks in warm temperatures), your child can spruce up the grounds around her house site--laying a stone walkway to its door or making a "Welcome" sign.
