Sunflower 'Dorado' is easy to grow and thrives in well-drained soil in full sun. Sow directly outdoors in late May, 6-12mm deep, spacing seeds 7.5-10cm apart. Once seedlings have emerged, thin or transplant to space plants 30-45cm apart.
For an early start, start seeds 2-3 weeks before the last frost indoors in peat pots or Jiffy 7's at 70°F (21°C). Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors. Maintain regular watering and fertilize twice during the season with a granular fertilizer such as 15-5-15 or equivalent. Germination takes 7-10 days.
