Are your sunflower plants exhibiting confusing behaviors, such as blooming on short stems or having multiple blooms on a single stem? Have you been disappointed by pest damage or the head size, neck strength, or vase life of your flowers? Today, Lisa and Layne troubleshoot some of the most frequently asked sunflower questions. They cover the occurrence of multiple blooms on single-stem sunflowers, plants flowering on short stems, pest damage, head size issues, soft necks on cut flowers, vase life, and animal damage to single-stem plants.
