Sunflower Info
Sunflowers (helianthus annuus) are fantastic for our pollinating bees when flowering and for the birds when flowering is over. They are are annual flowers and need very little description – there is no mistaking their big yellow flowers! They are heliotropic, which means that they turn their flowers to follow the movement of the Sun across the sky east to west; they return to face the east again at night. Once the flowers have gone over in late summer, leave the seedheads on to provide a feast for the birds in autumn, or cut them off and tie to your bird feeders.
