Plant in a location with full sun and space them father apart than you normally would. As far as the fertilization, start by <a href="http://www.veggiegardeningtips.com/gardening-blunder-3">feeding the soil</a> and during the season sidedress the plants with compost or an organic granular fertilizer, and apply a diluted solution of liquid kelp/fish emulsion to the leaves every few weeks as a foliar fertilizer. Then send me some pictures of those gigantic sunflowers!

I am very interested in growing very large flowered sunflowers, and am wondering if you can recommend a program of fertilizing to help me attain a giant sunflower. THANK YOU!
