Focal Point Friday: Are Sunflowers Good or Bad for the Garden?

Focal Point Friday: Are Sunflowers Good or Bad for the Garden?

Published 3 years, 6 months ago
Description

Jennifer in the Just Grow Something Gardening Friends Facebook group said, “I've seen, several places now, an argument about whether sunflowers are toxic to other plants around them or whether they are soil cleaners. Can you give us the low-down?”

This was a great question and one that was asked again just a few days later in our Kansas City Area gardening group, as well. The quick answer is everything you've heard about sunflowers is true!
