Sowing & Growing
Similar to other sunflowers, Ruby Passion is effortlessly cultivated and thrives in full sunlight. Its vibrant presence also makes it a stunning addition to fresh cut-flower arrangements. The botanical details for Helianthus annuus ‘Ruby Passion’ are as follows: Red Height: 3 – 5 ft. For optimal results, sow the seeds directly in the desired flowering location, planting them 15mm deep in finely prepared soil that has been raked to a fine tilth. Space the seeds 45cm apart, planting two seeds together. Seedlings typically emerge within 14-21 days. Once they are large enough to handle, thin out the weaker of the two plants, and if necessary, replant elsewhere. Ensure thorough watering until the plants are established. Alternatively, an early indoor start is possible by sowing seeds into individual pots, 15mm deep. Place the pots in a cold frame or greenhouse, keeping the soil consistently moist. Acclimatize the seedlings and transplant them outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.
