I absolutely love sunflowers! One of my favorite things about them is how they can be grown as tall plants or short plants. I think the shorter variety looks more like a black-eyed-Susan. The smaller ones look better in planters, I think. But they're still just as awesome! I think they're great for putting at the border of a flower bed. I used to think I didn't like sunflowers, but I'm definitely a fan now. There are so many colors, including yellow, white, orange, brown, and red. Plant Family for Sunflowers is Asteraceae. I just learned that some sunflowers can also be used to make edible oil. Is there anything better than a field of sunflowers? Sunflowers are amazing! Not only are they stunningly beautiful, but they are also edible and provide numerous health benefits. The sunflower seeds that grow inside the flowers are a great source of healthy fats and proteins. Sunflowers also provide vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, among other nutrients.
