Sow in pots 2 to 3 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball, after the last frosts, at a distance of 40 to 50 cm in all directions. Transplanting, although delicate because sunflowers' taproot is very sensitive, enables earlier flowering, but it is possible to sow in place, 40 or 50 cm apart in all directions, after the last frosts. Beware: slugs are very fond of young seedlings.
