This is the perfect plant to grow indoors during cooler months. It can be easily transferred into the ground in late Spring if so desired. If you are living in a climate that offers cold harsh snowy winter months, this is a great way to brighten your house with lovely yellow flowers! Gardening indoors can be quite rewarding. All you need is a small space that gets adequate sunlight for about 2 to 3 hours a day. A small grow light is also an option.


Instructions for Growing a Magnificent and Radiant Dwarf Sunflower

Step1~Purchase a large flower pot with a drainage area at the bottom to allow for proper water absorption. Sunflowers need a large amount of space to grow, and a pot large enough for root expansion is preferable.
4” – 8”

Step2~Add a mix of organic potting soil, peat moss, and fertilizer to the flower pot. Sunflowers prefer rich soil, so if you are planning to begin the growing process indoors, adequate nutrients will be required.


Step3 ~ Deposit a single sunflower seed into the flower pot mix. Bury it approximately two inches deep, and cover it completely with the soil. Placing the seed in the center of the pot, and pushing it down firmly into the dirt with your finger should be sufficient.


Step4 ~ Water the sunflower seed liberally, and as needed. Testing the soil periodically by inserting your finger into the soil and feeling for dampness will help you to determine how often it will need to be watered. Spring water is full of the minerals and vitamins that a sunflower needs without the impurities that they do not need.


Step5 ~ Place the plant near a well lit window. Sunflowers thrive off of the sun, hence the name. They also enjoy warm temperatures.

Keeping them safe from any cold drafts will ensure a healthy and happy plant!
