I tried to replant it but the roots where just to far gone....so I am a non sunflower poster. Will try again next year though. Kaden thought it was pretty neat!
We got wiped out Saturday. Florida has violent T-storms, like I have seen nowhere else. Looked like a hurricane outside for maybe two hours, when it was over forty eight plants were snapped out front of our house. I need to re-think support sticks, the planting area is too wide open to wind. But the neighborhood loves them, so we will plant again!
