Growing Tips:

• Planting: Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, spacing them 18-24 inches apart. For continuous blooms, stagger plantings every 2-3 weeks through early summer.
• Soil: Mammoth Russian sunflowers thrive in well-drained, fertile soil. Adding compost or aged manure to the soil before planting will promote vigorous growth and large blooms.
• Sunlight: These sunflowers require full sun to reach their full potential. Plant them in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
• Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. While these sunflowers are drought-tolerant once established, consistent watering will ensure the best growth and seed production.

• Culinary Uses: Sunflower seeds can be used in a variety of culinary dishes. Add them to salads, granola, or baked goods for a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. They can also be ground into sunflower seed butter or used as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal.
