Beschreibung

The sunflower is an annual plant of the composite family that grows up to 3 m high. With its hairy flower stalk and a strong taproot, it is relatively drought resistant. The flowering period extends from August to September. The flower always turns towards the sun - hence its name. Varieties differ in height of growth, color of the flower and filling with seeds.

Anbautipps

Sunflowers can be sown directly or pre-grown in plant pots. They require a lot of water and light. In strong winds, the plants tend to bend, so plant them in a sheltered spot or provide them with a support to which you can tie them.
