Direct Sowing
Sow sunflowers April to late June, direct into the flowering position when the ground has warmed up. Distance between rows depends on variety but up to 40cm for larger varieties. Space plants average 12-15 cm apart. Lightly cover the seeds and keep the seed bed moist. The optimum temperature for germination is 20°C minimum 5°C  Sowing to first cutting approx 60 days in mid summer.

POLLEN FREE VARIETIES
Pollen free types are excellent for cut flowers, they are uniform and vigorous in growth even under low temperature and short day conditions. Dense planting will provide quality cut flowers. Pollen free varieties can be sown September to March under glass and April to August outdoors.  Min night temp 8°C day max temp 25°C require little or no fertilizer and water sparingly.

The cultural information should be used as a guide only, I have found a number of different sowing techniques for the same seed from different sources there does not seem to be a standard. With this in mind you should use this website as a guide only, you probably already have a tried and tested way of sowing different seeds. As a rule of thumb the larger the seed size the more cover it requires, and fine seed like Lobelia, Begonia etc requires no cover.
