Sunflower Mix (Helianthus annuus). The Organic Sunflower Mix transforms your garden into a bright and lively scene, with a succession of vibrant flowers in various forms throughout the summer—some giant and majestic, others abundant on well-branched stems. This ornamental mix offers a captivating diversity of shapes and colors, predominantly bright yellow, but enriched with shades of brown and white that add depth and character to flowerbeds. Much loved by bees, bumblebees, and many other pollinators, sunflowers actively contribute to the ecological vitality of the garden while creating a spectacular presence.
Recommended sowing period: May to June. The recommended depth is 2 to 3 cm (3/4 to 1 1/8 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, keep the soil at 18 to 24 °C (64 to 75 °F). Transplant young flowers when their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the soil ball. Handle seedlings gently and avoid compressing the stem. Under lights, gradually space out the containers so that the foliage does not overlap. Acclimatization then prepares the plants for sun, wind, and temperature variations.
Their prolonged bloom invites both contemplation and the harvesting of cut flowers or decorative heads at the end of the season. Design your composition taking into account the adult habit and the distance from which the flowers will be observed. Small corollas benefit from being closer to a path, while a tall silhouette can serve as a landmark at the back of a bed. Repeat a few plants of the same variety to make the color readable. Maintain access for cutting and avoid crowding clumps just to fill the space immediately. Much loved by bees, bumblebees, and many other pollinators, sunflowers actively contribute to the ecological vitality of the garden while creating a spectacular presence.

Growing method
Recommended sowing period: May to June. Sow to a depth of 2 to 3 cm (3/4 to 1 1/8 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the soil temperature at 18 to 24 °C (64 to 75 °F). Transplant young flowers when their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the soil ball together. Handle seedlings gently and avoid compressing the stem. Under lights, progressively space out the containers so that the foliage does not overlap. Acclimatization then prepares the plants for sun, wind, and temperature variations. Planting out is done when conditions match their hardiness. Observe the succession of buds, open flowers, and faded parts to choose the most appropriate interventions. When cutting, preserve the shoots that will flower next. For tall-stemmed plants, check supports after a windy period. Light pruning will help maintain the plant's shape without stripping it bare. Adapt end-of-season care to the plant's cycle: annuals and perennials do not require the same winter preparation.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Care level
Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions
Watering
Moderate
Soil type
Rich and well-drained
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and takes into account nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suited to the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using multiple products, especially in a container where the roots occupy a limited volume. Water as needed after application and observe leaf development before re-fertilizing.
Moisture
Keep the soil moist during germination, avoiding standing water; then adjust according to the crop.
Seasonal care
Their extended blooming period encourages both contemplation and the harvesting of cut flowers or decorative seed heads at the end of the season. Transplant young flowers when their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the soil ball together. Handle seedlings gently and avoid compressing the stem. Under lighting, gradually space out containers so that the foliage does not overlap. Acclimatization then prepares the plants for sun, wind, and temperature variations. Planting out occurs when conditions match their hardiness. Observe the succession of buds, open flowers, and withered parts to choose appropriate interventions. A cut should preserve the shoots that will flower next. For tall-stemmed plants, check their supports after a windy period. Light pruning helps maintain their shape without stripping them bare. Adapt the end of the season to the plant's cycle: annuals and perennials do not require the same preparation for winter. Choose between extending flowering and keeping seeds on some stems. Removing spent flowers is suitable for many annuals, while capsules and dried inflorescences can have decorative appeal. Keep plants identified when they no longer bear flowers and remove spontaneous seedlings that are blocking a path. Recommended sowing period: May to June. The recommended depth is 2 to 3 cm (3/4 to 1 1/8 in).
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Recommended pot size
Punctured, stable container, wide enough for the plant to spread out and deep enough for the roots
Choose this exposure: sun. Reserve this spread around the plant: 45 to 75 cm (18 to 30 in). A floral arrangement in a container must allow space for each plant to grow. Place upright forms where they remain visible and allow trailing stems to occupy the edge when present. Ensure that the combined plants share the desired exposure and moisture. After a few weeks, observe the areas that become dense and remove only damaged parts or stems that disrupt the balance of the composition. The Organic Sunflower Mix transforms the garden into a bright and lively scene, where vibrant flowers of varied shapes succeed each other all summer long, sometimes giant and majestic, sometimes numerous on well-branched stems. This ornamental mix offers a captivating diversity of silhouettes and colors, dominated by bright yellow, but enriched with shades of brown and white that give depth and character to the beds. Highly appreciated by bees, bumblebees, and many other pollinators, sunflowers actively contribute to the ecological vitality of the garden while creating a spectacular presence. Their tall stature, which can reach several meters, allows for natural space structuring, whether at the back of a flowerbed, as a green screen, or as a rustic backdrop in the vegetable garden.

Companion plants
In a diversified plantation, you can dedicate adjacent sections to these plants: climbing beans, corn, and squash. The combination here serves to organize space and harvests. Respect each plant's height, light, and water needs, without overcrowding the foliage. Maintain an aisle for watering and harvesting, then remove finished crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance but does not guarantee protection against pests. Design the layout considering the adult size of the plants and the distance from which the flowers will be observed.
