Growing Directions:
Sunflower microgreens are very easy to grow, but only in soil. Growing sunflower greens is very difficult hydroponically and we don't recommend it. Soak seeds in cold water for 4 hours and plant directly. Spread evenly and tamp very gently to insure contact with the soil. Mist only as needed. Cover until germination.
