Patrick the Green Gardener shows you how to grow and maintain Sunflowers. In this short video you will learn simple tips about Sunflower cultivation, maintenance and the benefits of having Sunflowers in your garden. Thanks for watching!
Is it okay to put Sunflowers inside the room? I mean I’m leaving in an apartment that I why I cant plant it outside but I placed it on my window and the Leaves are curling up. Do I need to put fertilizer on it?
I was wondering where all those sunflowers in my backyard came from last year and it was from the the birds and probably squirrels eating from the feeder! I didn't know the seeds were viable! Guess they were, a lot! Cheap at one dollar per pound at the dollar store too!
I like the multi-headed variant seen in the video but I hope to grow one of each type if I have the space and time this year.
i have a nice sunflower plant that is very top heavy and it's so bent over it's now facing the ground, is this ok or should i try to support it with something ? thanks in advance for any advice !
I've been planting gobs of sunflower seeds just to find out that I have roly polies and slugs who are very appreciative of my efforts. I haven't studied up on how to deal with these pests. This spring, my strategy has changed with planting Sunflower seeds in my untamed garden. I plant the seeds in a spot with viable soil, and then place the top half of a water bottle, the half with the cap, and use it as a micro-greenhouse. The theory being that the hole at the top vents the hot air, and allows for convenient watering, as letting seeds dry out is fatal for the seeds. I place a small rock in the hole of the water bottle to weigh it down against the wind. Next year, maybe I'll do something about these slugs and roly polies. Also, I'll learn to start seeds indoors.
Patrick, Where do you buy your black oil sunflower seeds? What brand are they? Some brands are irradiated or rendered unable to grow. I feed birds too, and want to get the brand you get. Thanks!
I purchased,a helianthus sunflower, it has about 5 heads and WAS beautiful, I was going to put it in the ground after about a month. I've,had it about 1 week and had,it sitting in the direct sun, watered it everyday and it has gradually been looking like it's firing, should I go ahead and put it in the ground?
Hi. Please can you help. I'm a novice gardener and I've planted some sunflowers which now have wilted leaves. What did I do wrong, can I bring them back to life or do I have to start again. Thanks for your help
Hey NorCal! My sunflowers leaves are turning yellow and brown on the tips not sure if it's to do with water or nitrogen deficiency pretty sure it's one of the 2
I have two popped up in my garden, one single head and one multiple heads…. I had never seen multiple heads before, so that kind of worried me and caused me to snip off all those lower ones 🙂 This one looks like it carry a bunch without any problem.
