1. Prepare your pot.

Choose a plant pot and fill

the pot with compost.

Press the compost down

a li�le but not too much,

otherwise your seed

might not be able to

grow!

2. Plant your seeds.

Push your sunflowers

seeds into the soil.

They’ll need to be be-

tween 2.5-9cm deep.

Water your seeds to help

them grow!

You will need to look a�er your sunflower at home so that it grows tall and

strong!

• Remember to water your sunflower regularly (don’t let it get too dry or too wet.)

• Once your sunflower has grown quite big you might want to put it in a bigger pot, or

plant it in the garden. Sunflowers like a lot of sunlight, so don’t keep it anywhere that is

too dark.

Did you know...Some gardeners talk to their plants! Why not try reading to your sunflower?

Look closely when your sunflower has finished growing it might produce lots more sunflower

seeds that you could grow again next year or feed the birds that visit your garden!

Why not measure your sunflower to see how tall it’s grown? You can send us

photographs of your sunflower and we’ll put them on our Facebook page!
