When growingfor cut flowers, you may prefer to plant them in a separate cut-flower bed or on a veg plot First and foremost, find a sunny spot! Sunflowers grow best in locations with direct sunlight (6 to 8 hours per day); they require long, warm summers to flower well. Shelter from strong winds—for example, along a fence or near a building—helps as they mature. Larger varieties may become top-heavy, and a strong wind can topplethem. Cut stems early in the morning. Harvesting flowers during the middle of the day may lead to flowerwilting. Plant sunflowers in a spot sheltered from strong winds, perhaps along a fence or building.

These are the most popular type of sunflower – being annualsthey last just one year, but are very easy to grow from seed each spring (see Propagating, below). Just one ounce of sunflower seeds contains about 6 grams of protein and 14 grams of oils. The fats are almost entirely unsaturated with 9g of polyunsaturated and 3g of monounsaturated fats per ounce ( NSA). The oil is high in linoleic acid and is a good source of vitaminE. A light application of fertilizer mixed in at planting time will encourage strong root growth to protect them from blowing over in thewind.

If you do find or harvest some, I suggest digging small holes about 2-3 inches deep and about 6-9 inches apart, dropping seeds in there. Autumn Beauty’:One of the most spectacular cultivars, the ‘Autumn Beauty’ has many 6-inch flowers in shades of yellow, bronze, and mahogany on branching stems up to 7 feettall. Jerusalem artichokes are also a type of perennial helianthus ( Helianthus tuberosus), and although grown for their edible tubers, they do also produce small sunny flowers on tall stems in late summer. With sharp scissors or pruners, cut the head off the plant (about 6inches below the flower head). Place in a container to catch looseseeds.The flowers vary in size too, from huge dinner plates to small teacups, and not just traditional yellow, butvariousshades of cream, red, orange and brown too.
