Description
Sunflowers are annuals with showy, daisy-like flower heads that are usually 2-4 inches across and bright yellow (though occasionally red). Tall and course, the plants have creeping or tuberous roots and large, bristly leaves. Today, varieties have even been developed for small spaces and containers.

Planting and care
- Water plants deeply but infrequently to encourage deep rooting
- Feed plants only sparingly; over-fertilization can cause stems to break in the fall
- Tall species and cultivars require support
- Bamboo stakes are a good choice for any plant that has a strong, single stem and needs support for a short period of time
Sunflower Miniature care
- Sunflowers grow best in locations with the direct sun (6 to 8 hours per day); they prefer long, hot summers to flower well
- Sunflowers have long tap roots which need to stretch out so the plants prefer well-dug, loose, well-draining soil; in preparing a bed, dig down 2 feet in depth and about 3 feet across to ensure the soil isn’t too compact
- Find a well-drained location, and prepare your soil by digging an area of about 2-3 feet in circumference to a depth of about 2 feet
- Though they’re not too fussy, sunflowers thrive in slightly acidic to somewhat alkaline (pH 6
- 0 to 7
- 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 with a fence or near a building
