They grow best in open, sunny areas. Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Sunflowers are adaptable to various soil types but grow best in soil enriched with compost or organic matter. When to Plant: Sunflowers are warm-season plants and should be planted after the last frost date in spring when the soil has warmed to at least 50°F (10°C). These sunflowers grow best when direct-sown outdoors. Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly in the garden 1-1.5 inches deep and 18-24 inches apart. Space rows about 30 inches apart to allow room for the plants to grow large and tall. For a continuous bloom throughout summer, stagger plantings every 2-3 weeks. Plant Characteristics Appearance: Mammoth Grey Stripe Sunflowers produce massive, showy blooms with bright yellow petals surrounding a large, dark center. The flowers can reach up to 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter, while the plants themselves grow to impressive heights of 8-12 feet (2.4-3.7 meters), making them a standout feature in any garden. Height: This variety typically grows to about 8-12 feet (2.4-3.7 meters) tall, supported by strong, thick stems that help anchor the large blooms. Growth Habit: Mammoth Grey Stripe Sunflowers thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, maturing in approximately 80-90 days. These sunflowers are heat-tolerant and easy to grow, requiring minimal maintenance. They produce large seed heads, which are ready for harvest once the flower heads begin to droop and dry. Sunflower Growing Tips Companion Planting: Sunflowers can be planted alongside crops like beans, cucumbers, and corn. They can provide shade and support for climbing plants like beans. Avoid planting near potatoes, as they may attract similar pests. Temperature Management: Sunflowers thrive in warm weather, so plant them when temperatures have stabilized above 50°F (10°C). In cooler climates, consider starting seeds indoors for an earlier start. Soil Preparation: Before planting, work in plenty of organic matter, such as compost, to provide essential nutrients and improve soil structure. Mammoth sunflowers grow best in rich, well-drained soil.
