Everything You Need To Know To Grow Sunflowers From Seed To Harvest
Sunflowers are iconic. There are many varieties that you can grow in your own garden, and those of you in zones 9 and 10 can even grow them all year long. Let's talk about everything you need to know from seed to harvest!
They're some of the easiest flowers to grow, but they have a ton of benefits as well. Before you start, though, think about WHY you're growing the plants. If you want to grow them to eat, you're going to want a different variety than if you want to make floral arrangements.
GROWING
Sunflowers LOVE sun. They should be in a full sun location and do better during the warm season, but they can be grown from February through November successfully.
They're large seeds and need moisture to germinate and break the shell, but can be direct sown pretty easily.
MAINTENANCE
Sunflowers really don't need a whole ton of effort. Just keep them watered! For most gardeners, you probably don't need to do much else, and they can even survive in areas where other plants might not do as well. If you want to give them a boost, you can add some fertilizer.
HARVEST
If you want to save the seeds, you want to allow the plant to fully develop the seeds. When you can brush your hand across the front and get the excess material off, it's ready to get cut and dried. Choose a shady location with low humidity and good airflow.
