My sunflower just keeps growing! The head hasn't come out yet and I am wondering if there is anything I should do to ensure that the head gets big as well. I've tied it up loosely to the garage so it won't fall over.
It looks like a "maximimus", or something similar to that name...lol We grow regular sunflowers by the acre here and we just use ferilizers, 10-10-10. But in my small gardens and flower beds i plant these also and i use the above fertilizer and every now and then a dose of the liquid for flowers. And the heads get so big and heavy if it is not tied to something it will bend and break. But yours looks like it is gonna be a normal size head. This is what you want. Will you post a picture of it when it does bloom??? I am a sunflower fanatic....lol.
