Sunflowers-When They Bloom

Q: We are planning an outside wedding for this October. The bride wants sunflowers, and we need to know what type of sunflowers to plant that will bloom during September into October.

A: It’s really tough to predict the planned emergence of flowers. Sunflowers can take eighty to one hundred and twenty days to bloom. It all depends on the variety and eventual size. Choose varieties that mature at two to four feet and plant some every two weeks until late June.
