Plant your seed! Fill the pot 3/4 of the way with soil, make a little hole with your finger and place the seed inside. Fill the pot with soil. Make sure to add your email to our list of entries! You can do so here
Keep your sunflower well watered and in a sunny spot. Once you see a sizeable plant coming out of the soil surface, transfer the plant to a larger pot or to your flowerbed in a sunny position.
If the sunflower starts to grow very tall, you may want to consider a support.

Tallest sunflower
Sunflower with the biggest flower
Sunflower with the most heads on one stem.
So take a photo with a measuring tape in clear view and send them in! The deadline and announcing of winners will be 31st August. You can email your entries here along with your names, age, and contact details.
