We planted sunflowers that grew slowly and then started to form small blooms, but the plants were only a foot tall. Are we planting at the wrong time of the year?
You either have a slow learner or an undernourished plant. They need a light feeding every two to three weeks to grow tall and produce big flower heads. Sunflowers can be grown year-round even though they could be damaged by cold. Some varieties are dwarf in size but even these grow a few feet tall.
