Planting Instructions:
- Plant Mexican Sunflower seeds outdoors after the last frost date in your area, typically in late spring or early summer.
- Alternatively, you can start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost and transplant them once they have several true leaves.
- Sow the seeds 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep in well-draining soil.
- Space the seeds or seedlings about 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart, as Mexican Sunflowers can grow quite tall and wide.
