Hello! My name is Bethany and I grow things in my rooftop container garden in Chicago, zone 6a.
In this video, I wanted to give you an update on the sunflowers I have growing in my garden. I have sunflowers in a raised bed, grow bags, and pots and they're all doing really well!

Good morning ! One thing I learned. Sunflower seedlings and in bloom can withstand temperatures as low as 28 degrees. Had plants in bloom, with snow on grassy areas. Have a nice one !

My branching sunflowers are soooo tall and I'm 5'3! Whenever I look at the traditional yellow sunflowers, it brings me a happy little joy.

The yellow ones are the ones I remember most from my childhood. I think they’re going to be a staple in the garden now!

I had the same epiphany about yellow sunflowers. One of the first sunflowers seeds I purchased was moulin rouge and chocolate cherry. My moonflower which is very similar to morning glory is trying to wrap around my dahlia but maybe I'll just leave it! I'm blown away by how healthy your sunflowers look in small pots! I would never think they could look that good because they're so tall. Also your channel is unique bc a lot of container gardens are focused on vegetables which I like but at heart I'm more into flowers. The more I can test the limits in a small space the better Edit: I definitely need to fertilize I think. Also I've read warnings about transplanting some flowers but I've never had any issues.

I am shocked at how well the sunflowers have done! Definitely try fertilizing and see if that helps.

It was very interesting to see how well your (cared for!) sunflowers looked in the small pots. The fertilizer seems to be a key factor in that since they have such a small amount of soil nutrition. Thank you for the video--on a whim I just bought some containers and seeds on sale and want to have a fall display of sunflowers but wasn't sure if it would work out.

The yellow pops out because you have a lot of brown on the exterior of your place. The yellow really does stand out beautifully!

Helpful video! I want to use a wall of sunflowers for solar protection in the summer using containers. I plan to use 5-7 gallon grow bags as my primary soil source.

That should work out great! I also like to save my sunflower stalks after I cut them down and use them for supports in the next year’s garden.

Beautiful sunflowers! I also container garden on a deck, I am in zone 6a. I had luck this year growing Procut series sunflowers in self watering pots, they were so beautiful and bloomed so early- end of June early July for some. I grew Procut plum, red, and orange sooo pretty and long lasting as cut flower.
@ChicagoGardener
@ChicagoGardener Год назад
End of June, that’s amazing!! I need to check out those varieties.
@berniegray4987
@berniegray4987 Год назад
There's a RU-vid flower farmer woman who has shown where ProCut varieties can be planted with seeds right next to each other. Bloom size is determined by plant spacing.

Hi, I transplanted sunflowers, last year. I started them in solo cups, in a greenhouse. When the soil was warm, I just buried the cup, pulled it out, cut off the bottom of the cup, cut up the side, put it back in the hole and carefully pulled the sides of the Solo cup up. It barely disturbed the roots. They didn't show any signs of transplant shock and they grew huge!
@ChicagoGardener
@ChicagoGardener Год назад
I’m finding that more and more plants that are recommended not to transplant do fine when they are transplanted!
@berniegray4987
@berniegray4987 Год назад
Very true on above and transplanting warnings. I had success on direct winter sowing. Also doing no till sunflower grows by pre-sprouted seed planting, into municipal compost. Chicagoland.

Depends on the size of the container! I did only one is my pots 12” diameter or smaller but I fit 9 in a raised bed.

This is my first year ever growing sunflower and I don’t understand why most of the stems grow wonky and not straight up. Only one out of four is growing straight up. The others are wonky. Have you experienced that? You have beautiful sunflowers you have such a green thumb.
@saiikik2727

Having enough space in the pot and getting enough sun can be factors.

QUESTION: I will be planting in ground(clay soil) and want to use a solar drip water system (max 1.3L/min). How many gallons do you water each plant and how often? I was reading that you should only 'deep' water them once or twice a week. Suggestions are very welcome. Thank you
@ChicagoGardener
@ChicagoGardener 3 месяца назад
Since I grow in containers, I water anywhere from every 3 days to every day depending on the weather. Since you’re planting in the ground and clay soil holds more water, I’d start with a gallon per week and monitor your plants. If they need more or less, then you can adjust from there.

How did that sunflower grow so large in a 3 gallon pot?!! Mine grow like bonsais in small pots! I get tiny little flowers that barely even go to seed because they're so small lol.

My sunflower bloomed but soon they die ..they are in full sunlight I give cow dung and npk once a month and water they every day because the weather is dry and hot here..but I don't know why they die after bloom 🥺please help me what should I do?
@ChicagoGardener

Did the entire plant die or just the flower? Flowers on the plant last for about 20ish days.
