Planting instructions
To plant Sunflower Teddy Bear seeds, choose a spot in your garden that receives full sun and has well-draining soil.
Sow the seeds directly into the soil in the spring after the last frost, planting them about 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart. Water the seeds regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged until they germinate. Once the plants have grown to a few inches tall, thin them to 12-18 inches apart to allow them to develop fully.
