Pretty sunflowers in a row! What a pop of color and fun they add to your garden. Love the bright yellow flower!
Sunflowers grow best in direct sun and do well when we have long hot summers. They also like being sheltered from the wind.
They complement other flowers in your garden, like purple sage or pink coneflowers.
Sunflowers come in a variety of heights from about 2 feet tall to very tall. I like to plant a variety each year. These only grow about 2-3 feet tall.
Last winter we feed the birds sunflower seeds and they loved it. I pulled up most of the seeds the birds “planted”, but left a couple just to see how the would grow. They are getting tall and doing great!
Sunflower that grew from the sunflower bird food that the birds dropped last winter.
Bright yellow faces with brown centers are a highlight in gardens and they just look so happy.
Sprinkle a few sunflower seeds throughout your garden for a pop of color. They also attract birds and butterflies and fun to mix with zinnias for bouquets. Enjoy!!!!
