INTRODUCING SUNFLOWER MICROGREENS SEEDS

Sunflower microgreens, the young sprouts of the sunflower plant, are grown for their health benefits, easy cultivation, and nutty flavor. With high levels of protein, essential amino acids, and antioxidants, these small plants pack a big punch nutritionally. Growing sunflower microgreens is a simple process. Because of these facts, they’ve become popular recently and are grown by novice and experienced gardeners who wish to enhance their diet with fresh, healthful greens.

PLANTING SUNFLOWER MICROGREENS SEEDS

Soak your sunflower microgreen seeds in water for 8-12 hours to prepare them for planting. Fill a shallow tray with seed starting mix or a soilless growing medium like coconut coir. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on top, mist, and cover to retain moisture and block out the light. Keep the growing medium moist and covered in darkness for 3-5 days. After removing from darkness, expose the microgreens to direct sunlight. Harvest within 8-14 days.

MAINTAINING SUNFLOWER MICROGREENS

Sunflower microgreens grow quickly and in a week or two, they will be ready to harvest. Provide consistent moisture throughout the growing process. A grow light or a sunny spot provides the necessary light for healthy development. Harvest sunflower microgreens when they are 2 to 4 inches in height by cutting them just above the soil line. Clean gently and use immediately for the best flavor and nutrients.

The easy process of growing sunflower microgreens at home is perfect for those with no garden space and for those who can’t wait for the growing season to begin. It’s a rewarding way to boost your nutrition. Their quick growth cycle and impressive nutrient profile make sunflower microgreens a fun, welcome addition to any home garden or kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
