Sunflowers are one of the most iconic flowers of summer. Their bright yellow petals and large, round heads are a sight to behold, and they are a favorite of both gardeners and pollinators alike.

Sunflowers are heat-tolerant and drought-resistant, making them a great choice for summer gardens. They can grow in a variety of soil conditions, but they do best in full sun. Sunflowers are also relatively easy to care for, requiring only regular watering and occasional fertilizing.

In summer, sunflowers are in full bloom. Their petals can be a variety of shades of yellow, from bright lemon to deep gold. The centers of sunflowers are also a sight to behold, with their dark brown or black seeds arranged in a spiral pattern.

Sunflowers are not only beautiful, but they are also beneficial to the environment. They attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, which help to pollinate other plants in the garden. Sunflowers also produce seeds that can be harvested and eaten or used to make sunflower oil.

If you are looking for a beautiful and easy-care flower to add to your summer garden, sunflowers are a great choice. They will add a touch of sunshine to your yard and attract beneficial insects to your garden.

Here are some additional facts about sunflowers:

• The largest sunflower ever recorded was over 30 feet tall and weighed over 300 pounds.
• Sunflowers are native to North America and were first cultivated by Native Americans.
• The sunflower's scientific name, Helianthus, comes from the Greek words helios, meaning "sun," and anthos, meaning "flower."
• Sunflowers are a symbol of happiness, hope, and longevity.
