My tall sunflower is getting droopy already!

How long each sunflower lasts depends on several things... How energetic are the bees/bugs around it? If the bees are busy, it will only take a few days for them to pollinate all the little flowers (florets) that make up the big sunflower. Bugs will also help pollinate the florets, too. As long as you water it when it needs it, keep animals and humans from bothering it, it should stay pretty for 5 days to a week. The sunflower's "job" is to get the florets pollinated. Once that's done, the sunflower starts dying.

It's certainly on its way out but then, aren't we all?

Maybe your soil is depleted.

Sunflowers are so pretty

It depends on a lot of different things. With keeping them potted you might do good with smaller types

I have sunflowers at home but the artificial kind. They are beautiful flowers but don’t know much about them.

They need deep soil, as their roots are said to be as deep as they are tall. Pretty while they last there though.

My big one a year or so ago lasted for over a month. It was at least 7 ft. tall! I need to plant some next year!

Not all sunflowers have the same life span, anyway once the seeds are mature, the plant will begin to die.

Soon it will wither.....

I hope you had a good day at the Guitar Center. Perhaps this might give you some ideas.

The only thing about sunflowers that I know is that they are pretty....oh and the seeds are delicious.

I like sunflowers
