Here is a guide to growing Astra Rose Cream sunflowers:

Sowing time: Sunflowers are best sown in spring or early summer, making sure the soil is thawed and warm.

Full Sun: Choose a sunny location, sunflowers need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight.

Well-drained soil: Choose soil that drains well and avoid standing water, sunflowers don't like soil that is too wet.

pH: The pH of your soil should be between neutral and slightly acidic, around 6.0 to 7.5.

Sowing Depth: Bury seeds to a depth of about 1 inch in the soil and cover lightly with soil.

Spacing: Leave about 12 to 24 inches between each sunflower plant so they have enough room to grow.

Keep it moist: For the first few weeks after planting, keep the soil moist, but not too wet.

Weeding and scarification: Weed regularly to keep the area around your plants clean, and scarifying the soil will help encourage root growth.

Fertilizer: A balanced water-soluble fertilizer can be applied once a month while the plant is growing to provide the nutrients it needs.

Support: As the plant grows taller, it may be necessary to provide support to prevent the plant from tilting or breaking in the wind.

Pruning: Prune dead or overly long leaves and stems when needed to promote air circulation and healthier growth.

Observe the flowers: Sunflowers are mature when the flowers begin to turn yellow and the petals begin to fall off.

Harvest the flowers: Use scissors to cut the flowers and place them in a well-ventilated area to dry.
