Downy Sunflower

Sowing method: Sow year-round in a seed tray. First, provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22°C), then a cold period, for example in the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks. Subsequently, gradually warm it up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over a longer period. Therefore, do not discard the sowing too soon. Sowing directly into the garden is also possible; in that case, simply let it overwinter, and germination will occur in the spring.
