Sowing is done in late April - early May in open ground, the seeds are lightly sprinkled with earth, maintaining a distance of 20-30 cm when planting.
For earlier flowering, it is possible to sow seedlings in early April, always in pots, since transplanting plants are not tolerated well. At a temperature of +18 +25 °C, shoots appear on the 7-14th day.


Common Sunflower. Bot. syn.: Helianthus aridus, Helianthus lenticularis.

* It is difficult to imagine such a variety of inflorescence colors...
Although this is hardly surprising given the history of these unique plants. Brought to Europe in the 15th century by one of Columbus's expeditions, the bright yellow, orange-red flowers were sown in the Madrid Botanical Garden. They were universally admired, celebrated in poetry, depicted on canvases, murals, stained glass windows, bas-reliefs, and tiles. The famous Flemish artist Van Dyck painted a self-portrait holding a "sunflower." Vincent van Gogh's painting "Sunflowers" is world-famous.
Ornamental sunflower is a wonderful cut flower!
When setting it up, use a vase with a weighted bottom or place a small weight on the bottom to prevent it from tipping over. Before placing the flowers in the vase, singe or scald the stems.
