How to Grow Sunflowers — Plant These Sun-Loving Annuals to Brighten Up Your Yard

Beautiful summer flowering yellow sunflowers - Helianthus annuus, in soft sunshine.

Sunflowers are much loved as yard plants for a reason. Aside from their bold, bright and beautiful appearance, sunflowers have an exquisite way of adding a touch of serenity to any backyard. When graced by the morning sun, these blooms face the direction of sunlight and absorb all its nutrients and energy. If there is no sunlight to turn to, sunflowers turn to each other to share their energy and light — pretty exquisite right?

If you couldn’t tell, sunflowers have a place in my heart, among many other flowers that bloom in the summer. Native to North America, these annual plants are known for their color, large petals and wonderful shape. The best part is, sunflowers are available in various colors and sizes.
