Remember all those sunflowers that I had to chop down to only three feet in early September because I got a citation from the city saying they were too tall?
Well, they lived after they were brutally chopped and they’ve continued to produce blooms.
I really thought the sunflowers would die after having half their height or more chopped off, but they survived. I suppose if they were the kind that only produced one flower they wouldn’t have made it, but the kind I grow has multiple flower heads and stems.
Are your sunflowers still blooming?
Update – the story about how and why we had to cut down our sunflowers is here and here.
