From a teeny, tiny, super small seed, comes one of the largest (commonly 8-12 feet) flowers grown. Some fertile soil, sun, water & mulch - very easy to grow. Seeds are used to eat or pressed for oil, Kansas state flower, subject of Van Gogh, genus Helianthus, annual staple in our family garden, etc.Nathan (& daddy) loosely planted about 15 seeds, 3 made it a few inches high, and this one beat out the rest and became our specimen in just about 10-12 weeks.
Nathan is very proud of his sunflower and how big it has grown.
Check back for a follow up with more blooms that are currently budding.
We're still enjoying the summer, sandbox, water table, pool, etc.
See you soon...
