This behavior occurs during the early stages before the flower becomes heavy with seeds.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eNoteworthy Information: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSunflowers thrive in slightly acidic to somewhat alkaline soil (pH 6.0 to 7.5). As heavy feeders, they require nutrient-rich soil supplemented with organic matter or composted manure. Alternatively, a slow-release granular fertilizer can be worked into the soil to a depth of 8 inches. A light application of fertilizer at planting time will promote robust root growth, safeguarding against wind damage. It is advisable to sow sunflower seeds directly into the garden or outdoor containers after the threat of spring frost has passed and when soil temperatures are at least 50°F (10°C). Once established, sunflowers should be watered deeply but infrequently to encourage deep rooting, typically once a week unless weather conditions necessitate more frequent watering. Tall species and cultivars may require support, such as bamboo stakes, which are ideal for plants with strong, single stems needing short-term support. For fungal diseases detected early, applying a general garden fungicide is recommended.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eHarvesting Sunflower Seeds: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAllow the flower to dry on or off the stem until the back of the head turns brown, foliage yellows, petals die down, and seeds appear plump and somewhat loose. To protect seeds intended for roasting from birds, cover the flowers with a light fabric, such as cheesecloth, secured with a rubber band. Alternatively, cut the flower head early and hang it upside down until the seeds are dry. To remove seeds, rub your hand over the seeded area or use a fork. Rinse the seeds before laying them out to dry for several hours or overnight. If saving seeds for replanting, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until ready to plant.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eSome Wisdom:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eIn certain cultures, sunflowers symbolize courage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eSunflowers seeds can be turned into butter which makes a great alternative to peanut butter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eTo create a bird feeder, save whole, dry sunflower heads and set them out in winter; birds will enjoy picking at the seeds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eThe tallest sunflower on record was grown in Germany in 2014, reaching an impressive height of 30 feet and 1 inch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eRoasting Sunflower Seeds: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRe-soak seeds overnight in salted water, then run them through a strainer and dry them on a layer of paper towels.
