Natalie has planted sunflower seeds at school and brought her plants home today. I am sure miss Junior Gardener will nourish and shower her plants with love and care and that they will bloom and grow! And hopefully we can blog more about her flowers of the sun later this summer.
The scientific name of sunflowers is Helianthus, Helia for sun and Anthus for flower. Sunflowers are a great choice for planting to attract birds to your yard. Sunflowers are one of the fastest growing plants. They can grow 8 to 12 feet tall in rich soil within six months. It requires only 90 to 100 days from planting to maturity. The former Soviet Union grows the most sunflowers. The sunflower is the national flower of Russia.
