You can sow sunflower seeds from spring to summer (January to June) for flowering in the summer and rainy seasons.
Most gardeners recommended sowing sunflower seeds directly into the garden or into pots/grow bags.
A pot or grow bag of at least 9 to 18 inches wide and deep is good for planting sunflowers.
Sunflower seeds can germinate within 7-10 days of sowing at temperature around 21-29°C.
