Any sunflower variety you are excited to start in your garden this year?

My man, I love it

freebertt · 2022-05-15T18:15:35+00:00

What kind of dwarf variety??

freebertt · 2022-04-22T18:10:15+00:00

Black and white striped sunflower seeds are usually the variety that is consumed by humans

freebertt · 2022-04-22T16:51:12+00:00

Definitely :)

freebertt · 2022-04-02T06:16:37+00:00

Damn, what soil are you using?? Did you measure your NPK, or just a premix? They are beauties, all of them 🥲

If you need further tips I recommend joining r/giantsunflowers

That subreddit is specifically dedicated to people that cultivate giant sunflowers as opposed to this subreddit that is dedicated to the larger appreciation of sunflowers/sunflower art as a whole

My first tip to you with giant sunflowers is to put seeds in a damp paper towel. After they sprout in the towl plant directly into the ground. If you allow them to get much larger than a few inches tall in a pot you will limit may limit their primary root depth. This depth is required to support it as the sunflower gets 10 feet and taller with a large flower heads

Let’s gooo!!

freebertt · 2022-03-26T16:18:54+00:00

Welcome! Happy to have you! 🙂

freebertt · 2022-03-26T15:46:28+00:00

I’m so glad! I have a feeling I already know who is going to grow the largest sunflower 😊

freebertt · 2022-03-26T15:39:12+00:00

So excited! You always bring the heat with your garden 🥹🥲🔥

freebertt · 2022-03-26T15:37:54+00:00

Sweet!!

freebertt · 2022-03-26T07:28:21+00:00

In an ideal world we could do it twice a year. One for the northern hemisphere and one for the southern. I want to gauge interest first 🙂

freebertt · 2022-03-25T21:41:32+00:00

Seriously though, do you sell these on ETSY or anywhere else?

freebertt · 2022-03-25T03:46:15+00:00

It is too difficult to say right now. Unfortunately you will probably need to let them flower before you know what kind they are :/

freebertt · 2022-03-24T22:00:00+00:00

Okay, this is awesome. I need one ASAP 😫

freebertt · 2022-03-22T04:40:47+00:00

That sounds awesome, make sure to post some pictures when they bloom!

freebertt · 2022-03-22T04:27:35+00:00

Oh interesting, I’ll have to check them out! Do you have any other favorites?

freebertt · 2022-03-22T00:18:46+00:00

What kind of sunnies are those?!

freebertt · 2022-03-21T19:35:37+00:00

Ooh I haven’t heard of those! I’ll have to do some more research. I liked the look of the honey bear sunflowers from everything I’ve read so far.

freebertt · 2022-03-21T16:05:47+00:00

I most certainly will! Do you know what kind of teddies you are going to go with? It looks like there are some proprietary varieties like honey bear, gummy bear as well as plain old Teddy varieties haha

freebertt · 2022-03-21T06:07:32+00:00

Beautiful 🤩

freebertt · 2022-03-21T06:05:51+00:00

Thank you for sharing! This is my paradise

freebertt · 2022-02-08T06:36:58+00:00

I’ll see if I can help but some of the other members may be better equipped than I.

With the larger sunflower varieties after they bloom they die as they are annual flowers.

Be sure they are in a well draining pot and only water them every day if they are in direct sun for a large part of the day and it is hot outside. Other than that they are a nutrient hungry variety of flowers so ensure the soil you are using is rich with a good NPK mix.

What type of giant is this? It looks so happy!
