Sunflowers

they play tug of war with eachothers stems , sometimes they lie so they grow.

Cats can eat sunflower seeds, but only in very small doses.

The "annuus" part of the name comes from the fact that the common sunflower, unlike other related species, is an annual plant and not a perennial. The genus "Helianthus" comes from the the Greek word "Helios", or sun, and the Latin word "anthos", meaning "flower."

The best fertilizer to use on sunflowers is synthetic liquid fertilizer. This grows the sunflowers the highest. Monty's fertilizer works very well. Although, sunflowers really grow the best with no fertilizer and just a good seed-starting soil.

you can make projects like

draw out a banner

and paint on it!

and then put sunflower seeds on it!

and u can get a big sized picture of either a butterfly or a fish

and u can fill it with sunflower seeds

however if u do not wanna use the same old color of the sunflower seeds

then u can paint it!

All of the petals of a flower are called a corolla. The calyx, made up of sepals, is located beneath (behind) the corolla. The sunflower is one of those plants that has a flower head. The inner florets have very reduced (small) petals. They will form the fruits/seeds. The outer florets (ray or petal bearing florets) can be yellow, red, orange or a combination of those colors.

There are different varieties of sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) and each has its own particular seed. The black oil sunflower seed is small - maybe a little smaller than the nail on your pinky finger, and thin. You wouldn't think something so small could be so powerful in the products it can make. The mammoth sunflower seed is big, striped, and fat. It can be almost as big as the nail on your thumb.

I live in South Dakota, and they grow them out here. I watched a farm show, and I think they were growing a lot of them in North Dakota, too. Of course, they grow lots of sunflowers in Kansas. Main crops in these places are corn, soy, and wheat. Sunflowers are a profitable crop so farmers rotate them in with their main crops. I think they grow a few sunflowers in a whole lot of states, but they are mostly out on the Plains.

Yes. Sunflowers can be cultivated and harvested for a variety of purposes for a decent profit in large quantities. They are used for birdseed, sunflower oil, and some snack foods. Remnants from oil production can also be used as cattle feed.

where is sunflowers grown in the midwest

Sunflowers reproduce by large seeds that form in the center of their flowerhead.

How much sunlight do plants need? Well it all depends on the plant. Hostas, ferns, Impatiens & Hemlocks thrive in the shade while succulents like cactii and Aloe Vera need lots of southern sunlight all day. Most flowering plants need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight/day, while lawn & ornamental grasses need full sun all day. Plants use sunlight to convert nutrients from the soil & air into sugars used for energy through a process known as "Photosynthesis"

It depends on the variety. The 'giants' can get as tall as 12-14 feet although 10-12 is more common. There are varieties that will only grow to 5-7 feet and even some dwarf plants that get no more than 3-4 feet. The most common, however are the giants. When you see huge fields of them it is Probably the giant. The pkg of seeds will tell you what to expect. I currently have about 200 giants planted as shading for my SW garden. They are well over 7 ft just now.

Each plant has one large flower head, at the top of the stem.

The flower head is composed of anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand florets, which eventually turn into either the petals or the seeds.

sunflower seeds

pumpkin seeds

Simply scratch the soil surface to a depth of one half inch or so. Sew the seed about eight inches apart, then rake the soil over them lightly..They will sprout in a week or so, depending on rainfall..If it is a dry spell, water them once every few days.

89 ft tall it was grown by a german farmer with a 2 foot foot

the more sun a sunflower gets makes it bigger..... maybe!! I'm just guessing but that would make sense because it's called a sunflower>>>>>>?>>>>><<<<:"P)

Humas eat sunflower seeds

Kansas has a sunflower on its state flag.
