How to grow Sunflowers

Sunflowers are easy to grow and often the only challenge is preventing wildlife like birds and squirrels from stealing the freshly sown seeds. But, not to worry, I have tips for this below.

Once the plant is past the seedling stage, sunflowers are good, sun-tolerant plants that require minimal care.

Because they are annuals, you will need to sow new seeds each year. Some may self-seed as well. Don’t be surprised if the blooms are a bit different than the parent they came from: that’s normal for hybrid seeds.
