Caring for your Helianthus 'Sunsation Flame' is straightforward, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels. Follow these essential maintenance tips to keep your sunflower thriving:

• Feeding: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time to promote healthy growth and prolific blooming. Fertilize monthly during the growing season for best results.
• Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
