I like the article Sunflower isn't an evergreen; during the spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a yellow colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 1,5 m in height. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. The Sunflower is a year or two year long plant. Fertilization Sunflower
When we prepare the soil to welcome our annuals, in the apring or at the beginning of the summer, let’s add a good quantity of manure, or slow release granular fertilizer. To improve the flowering we can also give it specific fertilizations for flowering or green plants, mixed with the irrigating water, every 20-30 days. Exposure Sunflower
The Sunflower plant can be grown in the garden throughout the whole year. It doesn't fear cold weather and it bears very harsh minimum temperatures. For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Sunflower in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.Annual plants are usually not grown during the cold period; as autumn arrives we can uproot them and save the seeds for the year after. Watering Sunflower
We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 2-3 glasses of water every 1-2 weeks . As autumn comes these plants tend to perish, we can diminish the waterings, or even interrupt them. Treatments Sunflower
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden. Soil Sunflower
Let’s grow these plants in a soft and dissolved, but well drained, soil.
