The Sun and Her Flowers

A Blooming Sunflower

Once your sunflower is in full bloom, you’ll have around 20 days
to enjoy the beauty of the flower. The blooming phase provides
the opportunity for bees to pollinate the flower and fertilize
the seeds. When the back of the sunflower head turns yellow,
you’ll know the seeds are ripening.

The blooming phase is the best time to take advantage of your
sunflower’s yellow blooms. You can put your flowers in a vase,
gift them in a bouquet or make a wreath for the fall.
