Leggy Sunflowers ?

(1/5) > >>

Nigella:
Planted my seeds a little while ago now - and the larger seedlings are looking a bit leggy  .... what should I do ?

Was thinking of putting them outside under a cloche?

Will I have to support them with canes as they get bigger? 

Marianne:
Mine are a little leggy too.  I have got round this problem by putting the plants outside in the garden and bringing them indoors before dark.  This will allow for MAXIMUM light, which is the cause of them being leggy if there is not enough.

Hope this helps -  ;)

GREENWIZARD:
i've a got the same problem.i've killed off quite a few by trying to support them :'( so i'll try your method M. :)

Marianne:
I hope it worked for you GW !?  :D ;)

Lily:
My Sunflowers are also leggy ;) I have put them in a makeshift cold frame - lid off (previous use was a book shelf, but that's another story) I am hoping that the slugs and the frost don't get at them before they have time to mature.
