Description

Sunflowers are heliotropic, which means that they turn their flowers to follow the movement of the Sun across the sky.

Tall and coarse, the plants have creeping or tuberous roots and large, bristly leaves. Some sunflowers grow to over 16 feet in height, though there are also varieties today that have been developed for small spaces and containers.

Most sunflowers are remarkably tough and easy to grow as long as the soil is not waterlogged. Most are heat- and drought-tolerant. They make excellent cut flowers and many are attractive to bees and birds.

At the end of the season, it’s easy to harvest sunflower seeds for a tasty snack or for replanting.

Sunflowers grow best in locations with direct sunlight (6 to 8 hours per day); they require long, hot summers to flower well.Sunflowers are heavy feeders, so the soil needs to be nutrient-rich with organic matter or composted (aged) manure. Or, work in a slow release granular fertilizer 8 inches deep into your soil.If possible, put seeds in a spot that is sheltered from strong winds, perhaps along a fence or near a building.
