First time growing sunflowers. Do you see the heart in the middle of the flower?

My sunflowers got eaten by deer. :rage:

Mine the deer are every single leaf but didn’t touch the flowers. One of the flowers is just barely hanging on with a sliver and the flower is still getting seeds. Seems the mammoths are actually pretty tough. Mine have been anyway…

They are all from the Pro-cut series. I believe the ones up front are the Procut Gold

Planted pretty close together about 4 X 6 inches for cut your own

I found them on Johnnys. Thank you. I’ll have to get them for next year.

Mongolian Giant, not as giant as I’d hoped.

They didn’t survive unfortunately. Must have been no energy for them after being eaten on. I was away from a few weeks and came back to all dead sunflowers. Bummer… I’ll try again next year!

Is anyone here interested in giving some love to the perennial sunflowers? I hope someday they will be as good as the best annuals for size and color options!
