How to Grow
Sunflower 'Ms Mars' seeds are best sown outdoors from March to June after the last frost, thriving in full sun. They prefer well-drained soil and are ideal for balconies, terraces, containers, or garden beds where they can develop vibrant blooms.
Sowing
Sow four seeds per hole in damp, well-drained soil and cover lightly, placing them in a warm, sunny spot to encourage germination. This method supports healthy seedling emergence during the sowing months of March through June.
Growing
Once seedlings emerge, thin them to allow adequate space for growth, especially if grown in containers around 40 cm in size. Providing sufficient room helps 'Ms Mars' reach its full potential during the growing period from June to September.
Plant care
Water Sunflower 'Ms Mars' regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant vigour throughout the summer months.
