Do you plant sunflowers?

I have planted different kind for years now. I have taken wooden meat skewers to "stake" the heads up. The larger varietys do take up a lot of room, but they are worth it to see the beauty of these flowers!

hi ptennan01, sunflower is is my also one of the favourites. we are having a small garden behind our house and i love to spend my time there. we are having sunflower and many more flowers there. we are having a variety of roses too and my dad loves to take care of them. its really very true that sunflowers droopdown when they mature so have to be supported with something or the other. but they are really beutiful ones.

Sunflowers are the ultimate flowers which one can plant in ones house and i really want to grow them. But the problem is that none of the seeds shops in our area hold seeds of sunflower saying that thaey are cultivated plants and not for gardens. I tried in vain at many places but was not succesful in procuring seeds for my garden.

I have planted them. And they do have to have direct sunlight or their heads will droop. I had some plants that were over over 6 ft tall. Good luck this year.

I live in an aprtment building so no I don't... My parents have some in their garden though, really nice ones :-)

Hi ptennant! This year, we have volunteer sunflowers growing. They sprung up out of the "sterile" bird seed I've been using for the birds. Here's a photo of one of the sunflowers we have.

I havr never planted them but have always wanted too. I think they are very pretty when I have seen them in others gardens.
