Article: Sunflower History- From Humble Wildflower to International Superpower: Sunflowers are the BEST!

Author Content gabagoo Yonkers, NY (Zone 5b) September 1, 2008 4:48 AM Post #5493040 I love them. I don't usually have to plant them. I get olunteers from the bird seed from the previous winter. There's a house near me that has a sunflower with a HUGE bloom - like the mammoth. However, the plant itself only about 3' tall. I have no idea what variety it is. ------ Did a liitle searching - I think it might be Helianthus annuus "Little Dorrit ". Hmmmmm.. maybe next year.
