Title: Sunflower query please
Post by: Arumlily on May 07, 2008, 16:52:06

Good afternoon folks, such a glorious day hope you all had a good day so far. I have 11 sunflower plants that need to be planted. On one side of my garden it gets the sun in the morning, and on another part of it, it gets the sun in the afternoon. I'm not sure which side of the garden should the plants go.

The flowers face the sun, so the north side might be better.

Thanks Robert, much appreciated! North side it will be then.

Yes, I made this mistake. I planted mine at the side of the fence and my next door neighbours ended up with the sunflowers peering down on them  ::)
