Sunflowers- Humming birds love this

Sunflowers will attract birds and are one of fastest growing plant. When planting pick a sheltered area that has all day sunlight. You need to plant them in a well drained soil. Use a 5 to 10 cm wide pot and fill with soil. Then mix compost and manure to prepare the soil. Moisten the soil then plant two seeds. Cover with water then put it in the sun. Make sure the seed doesn’t dry out. Will germinate best in 70 degree F. Once germinated plant the strongest one. Once the plant gets its second leaves start fertilizing once a week. Make sure you keep the soil moist it is essential to growth.
