Sunflowers

sunflower

Sunflowers can grow to over 20 feet tall during
a single summer and produce flowers more than 2 feet across!

What better way to teach kids how to garden?

With a curious habit of facing the rising sun in the
East, sunflowers provide not only excellent lessons in sun,
earth & sky, but a healthy reward. The copious seeds that
sunflowers produce provide for a fun and nutritious
snack, as well. Little wonder that sunflowers are usually
popular favorite for backyard garden fun or classroom learning
project.

In addition, sunflower seeds are large enough for little fingers
to handle, meaning sunflowers are easy to plant. Just add
water, and stand back!

Just remember to stake them early on to support them
properly throughout the summer, and provide lots of sun
and water as they rapidly grow...and grow...and GROW...
