Free Sunflower Seeds
Be a part of The Great Sunflower Project and get a packet of free sunflower seeds. They're tracking bees pollinating sunflowers for food production. A very worthwhile project.
Just got my Stokes Spring Garden Collection Catalog in the mail today. If you go to Stokes and place your order online before June 15, 2007 they will include a free packet of sunflower seeds with your order. Just include the code "#5024" in the "Additional Order Instructions" box to receive your free pack of 20 seeds.
Both of these free orders are worth looking into.
Bold Colored Sunflowers
If you live in a white brick or sided house, or any othe light colour, yellow sunflowers seem to get washed out when planted along the foundation. To make a bold statement and avoid that washed out look you need to plant some brightly coloured sunflowers along the foundations. A good choice would be the reds, blacks, almost blacks and bright orange sunflowers. These will give you a nice backdrop for your other plantings in front of the sunflowers.
