I would like to plant sunflowers in the garden because I think they will add beauty and color to the garden and it will for sure make the garden look more presentable then it already is. The Sunflower was first domesticated in Mexico by 2600 BC. Sunflowers can be turned into sunflower oil which was founded to be very popular in Europe with member members from the Russian Orthodox Church because sunflower oil was one of the few oils that were not prohibited during lent. Therefore, sunflowers can be used to beautify the garden as well as be used as cooking oil.Growing Sunflowers is a way to attract bees, butterflies and birds to our garden. Late spring is when we should plant the sunflowers. I would prefer planting the ‘Ring of Fire’ which is a 5-inch wide pollen-less flower; bi-colored petals in dark red around a chocolate brown center which will then taper off to golden yellow tips. These sunflowers can grow 4 to 5 feet tall. Due to the height of these beautiful flowers lots of space is needed in order to grow.
The sunflower plant can grow from 3 to 18 feet tall. A sunflower only requires 90 to 100 days to grow. A single sunflower can have up to 2000 seeds inside of the head. Sunflower seeds are used to produce numerous things like cooking oil, medicine, paint, animal feed and biodiesel, these items that it can produce or be used for is very beneficial to us humans and animals as well.
I believe if we add sunflowers into our garden it will attract our community into seeing what we seniors have created over the past year. Adding color as well will attract our community into seeing the garden as well. Since Sunflowers take such little time to grow we can possibly grow different kinds of sunflowers within the garden. They are now creating sunflowers which have an orange head (middle of the flower) which is something that we are not yet used to. One of the most beneficial uses of sunflowers is that it can remove toxic waste from the environment which is excellent.
