One of the main benefits is that their roots break up soil and enrich the soil, they go so far down its really a good idea to plant sunflowers as a start if your ground is not the best, free labour!

Similar story here. I hung up a bird feeder I bought on a lark (no pun intended) 🐦. Seeds fell to the ground. When pulling weeds, I saw 3 “weeds” that I wasn’t sure were weeds. We’ll, here I am with amazing sunflowers! AND there are probably 75-100 seedlings coming up now. Amazing.

They also pull heavy metals out of the soil, mining companies plant them when they leave and are finished with the mine. A great variety called star burst is nice with multiple heads and colours and last for a long time.

I am growing sun flowers for the first time this year. I love the idea of using sunflowers as a trellis. I just learned about this method a few weeks ago and I am trying it in my own garden. I’m a KZfaq gardener too. I think I may have already messed up. My pole beans and morning glories that I planned to grow up the sunflower and growing so much faster then my sunflowers! Do you have any advice on what I should do now? I may make a trellis out of branches but I’d love to see this work out as is. Thank you for all your help. You have taught me something new. I hope we can continue to support and learn more from each other.

If you put more flowers per square foot (4) de roots will prevent weeds to grow there, next year your garden is free of weeds. Sunflowers have lots of small roots and fill the soil completely. 2 sunflowers help to keep snails away from the rest of your garden, snails love sunflowerplants.
