Sunflower 'Pacino Cola'

Do not need support, plant in flowering position

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Pacino Cola is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Pacino Cola needs a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 5.7 to 8.1 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Plant direct into warming soil in spring. Protect from mice

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). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 13°C / 55°F.

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

Plant direct

Pacino Cola is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside - as a guideline, the minimum temperature outside should be approximately 10°C / 50°F.

Branched heads, small and perfect for cutting
