Taking Stock

Did you know that you can use your tall sunflowers as a living trellis? Sunflower stalks are study enough to support just about any climbing plant. Morning glories are a wonderful choice because of their abundance of flowers. You can use all different colour combinations. Colours that blend in with each other like Black Eyed Susan vine and any of the yellow sunflowers. Or you can go for contrast and grow white sunflowers with Black Morning glories. Or Black sunflowers with white wisteria vine. The combinations are endless. You can also grow peas and pole beans this way.
Plant all of these seeds around the base of your sunflower plants. They will climb up the sunflower stalk
