A treat for the birds
Most sunflowers are annual plants,
which means that they germinate,
flower, and die in the same year.
Although they live for just
a few months, they can
get very large. If you grow
a sunflower, don’t cut it
down after it has finished
flowering. Instead, leave it
and watch the birds arrive
to feast on its seeds.
A sunflower’s
face always points
toward the sun.
“Giant” sunflower
plants may grow
to more than
10 ft (3 m) high.
If you plant seeds of a “giant”
variety of sunflower, your plant
may grow taller than you!
