Product description
The Titan Sunflower, with its impressive stature, is a standout in any garden. Known for its colossal height, it can soar up to 12 feet or more. This sunflower variety is celebrated for its large, striking blooms that can reach over 24 inches in diameter.
Introduction to Sunflowers:
Sunflowers, known for their bright, large heads and vivid yellow petals, are a popular choice for gardens. Originating in North America, they have spread globally due to their beauty and utility. These flowers are not just ornamental; they're also cultivated for their seeds, which provide oil and snacks.
Planting Sunflowers:
Sunflowers thrive in locations with full sun and well-draining soil. Plant seeds directly in the ground after the last frost date, as they do not transplant well. Sow seeds about an inch deep and 6 inches apart. Water them regularly until they germinate, usually within 7 to 14 days.
Caring for Sunflowers:
Sunflowers are relatively low maintenance. They require regular watering, especially during dry periods, to develop deep roots. Fertilize them sparingly; over-fertilization can lead to weak stems. Stake taller varieties to prevent them from toppling over. Watch for pests like aphids and birds that may be attracted to the seeds.
Harvesting and Enjoying Sunflowers
Sunflowers usually bloom in the summer. Once the back of the flower head turns brown, it's time to harvest seeds. You can cut the head off and let it dry in a warm, well-ventilated area. Enjoy the seeds roasted or raw. Additionally, sunflower heads make beautiful, cheerful additions to floral arrangements.
