Sunflower 'Prado Yellow'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Prado Yellow is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Prado Yellow requires a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 5.7 - 8.1 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 4.68 inches (12.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.49 inches (1.25 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Prado Yellow about 21 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Prado Yellow is a half hardy plant.
