Last year I accidentally grew a sunflower. Whether or not it was from bird seed falling into the pot of daylily seedlings, I cannot say. It was fun for the birds for sure. I suspect the squirrels swung on it and broke it, after which I cut it back and the next morning the cut piece was gone. Bunny?
We had a bumper crop of sunflower seedlings in the rock outside the edge of the patio this spring. I let a small section survive weeding, pending possible transplant.
I have a couple boring areas where transplants would look nice but the shells that get dropped are not good for other plants, so probably a no go there.
Might be adios to sunflowers in the townhouse garden this year. Maybe they can go up north.
