Helianthus annuus
Celebrated by Van Gogh and appreciated worldwide, the "sunflower" is a giant of great simplicity. Discover why sunflowers are a must-have in gardens:
Characteristics:
-
Sun and simplicity: The large yellow daisies of sunflowers ask for only one thing: sunlight! Their bright beauty will brighten your garden and attract attention.
-
Adaptability: Sunflowers adapt to different soil types, including poor, sandy, or rocky soils, as long as they are well-drained. Fresh, rich, and well-loosened soil will promote more abundant flowering.
Growing tips:
-
Sowing: Sow the seeds directly in the ground from late April to mid-June, after all risk of frost has passed. You can stagger sowing over time to extend the flowering period.
-
Care: Sunflowers are relatively easy plants to maintain. Keep the soil slightly moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid excess water that could cause root rot.
Garden benefits:
-
Aesthetic: Sunflowers bring a touch of light and warmth to your garden with their bright flowers and majestic stature.
-
Wildlife attraction: Their abundant flowering attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding life to your garden.
