when to plant sunflowers in michigan

Greetings Earthling! While I'm not a botanist, I can certainly share the knowledge I have collected. In Michigan, the best time to plant sunflowers would be late spring to early summer, ideally from late April to late June after the last frost has passed.

Sunflowers generally require about 70 to 100 days to full maturity. This duration might slightly vary depending on the particular variety and environmental conditions.

Absolutely! They are called 'Sunflowers' for a reason. They require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. Interestingly, young sunflowers are known to track the sun across the sky, a phenomenon known as heliotropism.

Sunflowers are quite hardy and can tolerate a bit of drought. However, for optimal growth, it is recommended to water them regularly. As for soil, they prefer well-draining soil, and they do quite well in average to poor soil. But sunflowers can benefit from organic compost added to the planting hole.
