I like growing mini sunflowers
-
My brother Gary loved Sunflowers... He passed on several years ago... My wife and I looked out our back window yesterday and we saw a Sunflower growing in an old potted plant pot that used to have a palm in it... How did a Sunflower start growing there? There are none in my yard or the surrounding neighbors as well... Can't figure out how a Sunflower got there?

What if we don't sow it between march and may?
-
very good , thank you, British people
-
COOL!
-
Ive started mine indoors and they have all grown really fast! Lol at what point do they need a bigger pot or going outside?
-
How do you harvest the seeds from dwarf sunflowers?
-
Mine are still babies, they are growing ^^

Guess what, I went to an abandoned house and found a monster sunflower it was dead the flower was dried up but it had so many seeds I took it home and planted it so far 5 have sprouted
-
or you can do my method, throw the seeds all over the 60ft area and up sprouts 15 ft giants. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the forest of sunflowers I have now. The bees love it though.

planted a goliath sunflower seeds on december c: and now they're around 6 feet tall :D
-
It's June already, did I miss my chance.

Animation was cute as hell.
-
Cool !

Just asking, but how tall do mammoth sunflowers grow. I'm growing some right now. the tallest is at 10 ft tall and blooming. But I have a few that are at about 3 or 4 ft tall and have already bloomed as well. Did I do something wrong or is this just a natural thing?

Sunflowers do NOT need to be tied to a stick. Once you starttying it to a stick the seedling will rely on it for support, which makes it weak. By not tying it the seedling will create a much thicker and sturdier stem, I learned this from other annuals. My sunflowers reach over 3m and have multiple flowers (10+a plant), only 2 have fallen over. You'll have to push quite hard if you want to push them over.

when i saw this i was eating it

Well you spuupose to water them when the soil feels dry by simple touching the soil. Also it takes a while for some seeds to grow and sometimes not long at all. when there seed it best to plant indoors until it grows a bit so the bugs wont eat it straight away
-
if u r planting them for fun like I do, then just take like 3 seeds and wrap it in a soft paper towel, put on a foam tray, and spray the paper + tray till the water is just pooling, then leave it for a few days and spray once in a while so the pool doesnt run dry. should work. then after it sprouts, put one in a pot and grow it til u can put it outside without fear of it breaking in the wind

Sure. I would just boil some water and mx as much salt as you can into it, then let the water cool, soak the seeds in the salt water for 15-20 minutes minutes, and immediately roast them after soaking. that should evaporate the water and leave a very fine salty powder on the seeds like you get in the store! You'll have to roast them a bit longer since they're wet to start.
