This nutrient-rich soil contains organic compost and controlled release fertilizer that will feed your sunflowers through their stages of growth. Remember: Sunflowers love sunshine! Place your Sunflower Garden in a sunny spot and watch your garden bloom. The Smart Pot Lil’ Shorty Raised Bed Planter also has built-in handles, giving you the ability to move your Sunflower Garden around your deck or patio. Attract pollinators to your vegetable garden or maybe move them in front of a window to act as a privacy wall. Step 2: Cut and plant your Seed Mat The Sow Effortless Sunflower Fantasy Mix Seed Mat is 6 feet long, while the Lil’ Shorty is 3 feet long, so we will need to do some cutting. Trim your Seed Mat to fit your Smart Pot and lay it on top of the soil. Cover lightly with more soil and save the excess Seed Mat for future use. These dwarf sunflowers, in these seeded mats only reach a height of 24 to 30 inches, but they create a pollinator’s paradise with a range of solid to multicolor flowers that bloom from early summer into fall. Each Sunflower Seed Mat includes pre-spaced, non-GMO seeds embedded in biodegradable tissue. This design ensures even planting and minimal maintenance, as the seeded mats dissolve quickly upon watering, leaving perfectly spaced sunflowers. Step 3: Water Wisley Give your seeds a good watering, and keep the soil consistently moist. With minimal effort, you’ll have a stunning sunflower garden in no time. Remember, these sunflowers typically take 70-100 days to mature, so patience is key. In the Smart Pot Content Greenhouse, we experienced nearly 100% germination in 7 days!
