Growing sunflowers with a flower farmer!

We discuss why we prefer to direct sow, how we keep bunnies and other hungry garden friends from eating them, what varieties we like, and we we like to keep our spacing TIGHT! Sunflowers are a quick to grow flower, so get out there and seed some for fall in your cut flower garden!

I so appreciate this video!
I’m doing a test garden and planted them the first of August in warm sunny CA so it will be interesting to see what happens. Total experiment.

3 of my sunflower successions go in my June bearing strawberry beds - as soon as the strawberries are finished for the season. I love a 5" spacing. Side note; the leaf cutting bees in my area love my sunflower leaves. They role the cuts into tubes and put their eggs inside the tubes that are then buried.

I LOVE your videos! I would also love to learn more about how to harvest certain flowers as cut flowers. like where to cut them off the plant specifically. 🙂 You are inspiring me to try growing things I have never thought to grow! 😀

One year I had a fantastic row of sunflowers 🌻 coming up nice and healthy, our Royal Palm turkey tom got out and ate those first leaves off of Every. Single. One! Sunflower micro greens were his salad for the day…
Thanks for sharing these great tips!

The bunnies topped most of the 540 Sunflowers that I planted. I was devastated! It was too late in the planting season to start more.

Thank you for making this! I couldn't remember the spacing you said for cut sunflowers and ended up planting them too far apart! Thanks for making a very specific video ❤

Thanks for the tip on the frost cloth. I don’t direct sow my sunflowers because my birds and bunnies eat them. Thanks! Will try it!

Brilliant, I'm plugging in more sunflower seeds tomorrow.

Try Mexican sunflowers. Small blooms, branching & perfect orange blooms. I’m nuts about them.

Thank you, I was thinking on looking for a sunflower video and yours is perfect

How long do you leave frost fabric on? Also any other tips to deter rabbits?
