What month do you plant sunflower seeds in NZ?

In New Zealand, the ideal time to plant sunflower seeds is from October to February. During these months, warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours give sunflower seeds the best growing conditions. Sunflowers thrive in full sunlight and can be easily sown directly in garden beds or pots once soil temperatures have warmed to over 20°C and the risk of frost has passed. Kings Seeds offers a wide selection of sunflower seed varieties that are perfect for the New Zealand climate, ensuring beautiful and successful blooms throughout the summer months.

How to plant sunflower seeds?

To plant sunflower seeds, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Sow the seeds directly into the ground, about 2-3 cm deep, and space them 30 cm apart to allow for growth. Water regularly to keep the soil moist during germination, and within 7-14 days, seedlings will begin to emerge. Sunflower seeds grow best when sown in the warmer months, and their rapid growth means blooms will appear in 60-75 days from sowing.

Should sunflower seeds be in direct sunlight?

Sunflower seeds need direct sunlight to grow properly. These sun-loving plants require at least six hours of sunlight each day for optimal growth. When you plant sunflower seeds in a sunny spot, it ensures the seeds get the warmth and light they need to flourish. Growing in full sunlight also promotes stronger stems and more vibrant blooms. Kings Seeds’ sunflower seeds are perfect for bright, sunny locations, ensuring you get the best results from your garden.

Where do sunflower seeds grow best?

Sunflower seeds grow best in a sunny location with well-drained soil. These versatile plants thrive in garden beds and large pots, as long as they have access to direct sunlight for most of the day. Ensure the soil is nutrient-rich to support their rapid growth and space them well to allow the plants to spread. Kings Seeds' sunflower seeds are designed to flourish in New Zealand's climate, making them an ideal choice for gardeners looking to brighten up their space with vibrant blooms.
