Mammoth sunflowers are great for creating a sunforest for kids, a tall annual hedge or screen. Fast and easy to grow, these sunflowers can be sown in the spring after the last average frost date. When around 3" tall, seedlings should be thinned to 2 ft. apart. The edible seeds attract birds and make great snacks.

To save the seeds, cut the stem beneath the flower heads when the backs of the flower heads turn yellow. Hang the flower heads upside down and let them dry in a cool, dry place for about a month. Cover the flower heads with netting or a paper sack with holes to keep the seeds from falling. However, watch out for squirrels as they may try to steal the seeds.

These giant sunflowers are also a great pollinator for bees and butterflies, making them an excellent addition to any garden. With their towering height and stunning blooms, they are sure to add a touch of beauty and wonder to any outdoor space.
