They are not the most delicate of flowers to be sure, they are really nice with a climber to scale their sometimes less than lovely stems. they will tower over everything. It is interesting to watch a field of sunflowers, their faces follow the sun. Are they a cash crop or just for fodder?

i just fancied growing some... we have millions of little birdies that sing to me whilst im gardening so I thought they would like some seeds (self service)!

You are a treat, Ickle... the sunflowers I grow are self seeded (well, some are...and some are from overflow at the winter feeder.) Have little chickadees who do crazy aerobatics and hang upside down pecking away, seeds flying!
