is one
of the most widely recognized
fl owers of all time. It emits a
sense of warmth and joy. This
large fl ower blooms in a wide
variety of yellows, pinks, and
even reds. While the most typical
sunfl ower is about 4 feet high
or even higher (some can be 6
feet or more!), some forms of
sunfl ower can be much shorter
and smaller. Sunfl owers love hot
sunlight, so plant them either in
areas of the garden or yard where
they can get about 6 to 8 hours of
good sunlight a day. Since these
beautiful plants can get rather
large, be sure to allow them ample
space apart in the garden when
planting. They do not need too
much water or fertilizer, so as
long as the soil is kept moderately
moist, they should be fi ne. Some
suggest that planting them along
a fence is the best strategy, since
the fence will provide support for
the stalks. There are two forms of
sunfl owers: annual and perennial.
If you choose the latter, remember
that it may take up to two to
three years, in some cases,
before the plant begins
to bloom. These beauties
add a lot of sunshine to
any garden and home.
The large fl ower of the
sunfl ower plant also produces
hundreds of sunfl ower seeds
that make a tasty treat for
neighboring birds.
