Advantages: Lovely, and easy to grow

Disadvantages: None, really

Sunflowers...so easy to grow, and so rewarding. We all know the van Gogh painting, but the real live ones in your own garden are so much better. Nowadays you can buy seed to produce short or tall plants, single flowered or with many flowers, single or double. And different tinges of yellow and brown. They look lovely in the garden, but the smaller flowers also do well as cut flowers.

How tall they grow depends not only on the seeds, but also on the soil and the amount of sun they get. This year I have one that's about eleven feet tall! But large or small, I think the simple yellow flowers are really lovely. They're symbols of life, radiance and happiness.

You should try some next year.
