Growing your sunflowers

Sowing seeds

1

Pour multi-purpose compost into a small pot. Gently tamp it level to about 1cm below the rim, to leave room for watering.

2

Push the seeds into the compost to a depth of around 1.5cm. Space them about 3cm apart from each other.

3

Water using a small watering can with a rose, so the seeds are not dislodged. Place in a warm spot and keep the compost just moist.
