Can sunflowers be transplanted safely? If so, what's the best way to do it? Thanks, Adam Yes, up to the time they are less than a foot tall. take up a ball of soil with the plant, A bareroot plant has a hard time. use a trowel or small shovel, enter the soil about 3 inches from the plant, go about 6 inches deep. Cut this plug all the way around the plant and pull out the plant and plug of soil, transplant into a hole of the same depth, fill and water. Rarely ever lose one. |

I start my sunflowers in 4 packs (the ones like you get annuals in) and transplant them when they are about 6 inches tall. They tend to get a better start in seed starter mix and I always give a few of them away to the neighbors. -- Bill R. Remove No-Junk-Mail- in e-mail address to reply by e-mail |
