Ruby Eclipse Sunflower
10 Fresh Seeds - This alluring branching sunflower variety is among the quickest to flower, combining productivity with beauty. Its blooms display a captivating mix of bicolour flowers, ranging from cream and dusty rose to ruby red. Exceptionally easy to grow, a single planting yields flowers for an entire month.
Introduction to Sunflowers
Known for their bright, large heads and vivid yellow petals, are a popular choice for gardens. Originating in North America, they have spread globally due to their beauty and utility. These flowers are not just ornamental; they're also cultivated for their seeds, which provide oil and snacks.
Planting Sunflowers
Sunflowers thrive in locations with full sun and well-draining soil. Plant seeds directly in the ground after the last frost date, as they do not transplant well. Sow seeds about an inch deep and 6 inches apart. Water them regularly until they germinate, usually within 7 to 14 days.
Caring for Sunflowers
Sunflowers are relatively low maintenance. They require regular watering, especially during dry periods, to develop deep roots. Fertilize them sparingly; over-fertilization can lead to weak stems. Stake taller varieties to prevent them from toppling over. Watch for pests like aphids and birds that may be attracted to the seeds.
Harvesting and Enjoying Sunflowers
Sunflowers usually bloom in the summer. Once the back of the flower head turns brown, it's time to harvest seeds. You can cut the head off and let it dry in a warm, well-ventilated area. Enjoy the seeds roasted or raw. Additionally, sunflower heads make beautiful, cheerful additions to floral arrangements.
