Should I Plant Sunflowers Again this year?

If you liked them and want to plant them again, go for it. Mine didn't do well at all last year. We had a very strange summer. We live in the desert so normal June-July-August temperatures are between 90 and 105 and we barely got out of the 80's last summer. So you can imagine what the spring was like. Brrrr I don't know if that's what the problem was or not but after about a month the stems were only about six or eight inches high and then our land lord killed them! I'm going to try planting them again this year, hopefully it will go better for me.

Whether they'll produce one or more blossoms depends on the type of sunflower. Some kinds only produce one. I love sunflowers of all kinds and intend to grow the wild ones on purpose this year. That's because the squirrels cut off all the other kinds just as they're the prettiest. I grew a lot last year and was left with mainly stems. Not pretty. Anyway, if you don't have squirrels to cut them off, I'd say grow them. Leave them on the stem until they go to seed and get dry. Birds will come to eat the seed and it's fun to watch them. I used to grow them just for the birds (in another place). I'd cut them off when they were dry and save them until winter when food is scarce for the birds, then I'd tie them out for them.

I say go lfor it but make sure to put compost or other plant food down in the soil for them as they are heavy feeders and need lots of compost or other good food to be able to grow right. They also need lots of sun hense their name as the heads will follow the sun. If you get the giant kinds, they will only have one flower but some of the smaller varieties will have many flowers so that if you cut some, they will grow other flowers. If you put plenty of organic material in the soil, you will not have to water as much either.

Why not if you enjoy them and get lots of compliments on them. I like planting sunflowers too when I can get them to take. Only trouble for me is once the heads are ready the squirrels are after them.

yes you should, Not only they can provide you beautiful flowers, you can collect the seeds to plant more flowers or make some yummy roasted sunflower seeds. anyway sunflower sprouts is edible and its one of the most nutritious and healthiest vegetable that you can plant indoors. what cultivar do you have? is it an anual sunflower or is it perinial?

I absolutely love sunflowers, they are my absolute favourite. If you were happy with them last year, go for it again this year. I always think sunflowers are smiling at me ;-)

If I were you, I would plant the sunflowers. Since the sunflowers are beautiful. Besides, lately I am interested in eating the sunflowers seeds. I think they are healthy nuts. They are also good snacks. I love China
