Sunflowers grow best in locations with the direct sun (6 to 8 hours per day); they prefer long, hot summers to flower well
Sunflowers have long tap roots which need to stretch out so the plants prefer well-dug, loose, well-draining soil; in preparing a bed, dig down 2 feet in depth and about 3 feet across to ensure the soil isn’t too compact
Find a well-drained location, and prepare your soil by digging an area of about 2-3 feet in circumference to a depth of about 2 feet
Though they, re not too fussy, sunflowers thrive in slightly acidic to somewhat alkaline (pH 6
0 to 7
Sunflowers are heavy feeders so the soil needs to be nutrient-rich with organic matter or composted (aged) manure
Or, work in a slow release granular fertilizer 8 inches deep into your soil
If possible, put seeds in a spot that is sheltered from strong winds, perhaps along with a fence or near a building
Culinary Use:
The edible sunflower seeds can be eaten raw, cooked, roasted, or dried and ground for use in bread or cakes, as a snack
The seeds and the roasted seed shells have been used as a coffee substitute
Oil can be extracted and used for cooking and soap making
Yellow dyes have been made from the flowers, and black dyes from the seeds
The residue oil cake has been used as cattle and poultry feed, and high quality silage can be made from the whole plant
The buoyant pith of the stalk has been used in the making of life preservers
Planting And Care
Water plants deeply but infrequently to encourage deep rooting
Feed plants only sparingly; over-fertilization can cause stems to break in the fall
Tall species and cultivars require support
Bamboo stakes are a good choice for any plant that has a strong, single stem and needs support for a short period of time
