Why does a rose grows faster then a sunflower?

Roses do not grow faster than sunflowers. Sunflowers will sprout, grow to their full adult height, bloom, produce seeds, and die all within a single season. Rose bushes take two to three years to reach an age where they will bloom and grow flowers. So therefor roses do not grow faster than sunflowers.

Which one grows faster a daisy or a sunflower?

Daisies and sunflowers are cousins, as they are all asters (star flowers) of the Asteraceae or Compositae family.

If by daisy you mean the Ox-eyed daisy that grows wild by the side of the road, then the daisy is certainly the one to grow faster and die faster. The daisy only lasts about 6-8 weeks in early spring. It takes that long for the first flowers to develop on the sunflower plant. The sunflower needs warm temperatures, and can be grown as long as there is no frost.

The Shasta daisy is a bigger and better daisy cultivar that blooms in June-July, but the sunflower still has it beat in height, width, and length of time before a bloom appears.

Are artichokes related to sunflowers?

Yes.


What's commonly referred to as an artichoke should really be called a 'globe artichoke' to differentiate it from a 'Jerusalem artichoke' and the other varieties.


Sunflowers and (globe) Artichokes are from the same family Asteraceae, but so are daisies, chicory, safflower, and iceberg lettuce (and more than 20,000 other variety of plants)


The globe artichoke is from a variety of Thistle; and like a sunflower, the flower part will bloom and have seeds within the bloom. We just usually happen to eat them before that happens.


The Jerusalem artichoke, also called sunroot, sunchoke, earth apple or topinambour, is an actual species of sunflower classified as a type of Helianthus (a sub type of Asteraceae)

Aside from the two most common types (globe and jerusalem) there are at least a dozen other types of edible artichoke with a variety of names (chinese artichoke, etc). Some are sunflowers (or would be if allowed to bloom) such as the jerusalem while others more closely resemble thistles if not harvested first.

Essentially the choke can be harvested off of most variety of thistle or sunflower before it blooms, some are more edible than others. For example the Siena Artichoke has a heart soft enough to eat raw.

How much drainage do sunflowers need?

Sunflowers like to have good drainage. If you add plenty of compost to the soil, this can help to break poorly drained soil up. Also, you can raise the bed where they are to grow to improve drainage.

How do you get sunflower seeds out of sunflowers Do you have to kill the sunflower?

When the heads are ripe: cut and tie them together and dry in the sun for a week or so. Then you can remove the seeds by either rubbing them out or by laying them on a sheet on the floor and hitting them with a stick or (clean) broom.


Further drying of the seeds for another week is best. They can than be roasted or prepared for eating or long term storage.


Harvesting the sunflower heads with a clean cut will not kill the plant; only the flower itself. And like any other plant that flowers, it will eventually grow more flower heads.
