Gardening Tip: Make Your Sunflowers Face You!
Gardening Tip: The Secret to Getting Your Sunflowers to Face You Many gardeners love the cheerful sight of sunflowers, but few know the secret to getting them to face your garden instead of your neighbor's. Simon Akeroyd, a gardener and author of 30 gardening books, explains that sunflowers track the sun during the day, but once mature, they always face east. This means if you plant them on the east side of your garden, you'll only see the back of the flower heads. Akeroyd advises planting sunflowers on the west side to enjoy the full beauty of the blooms. 'So plant sunflowers on the west side of your garden so that the gorgeous flowers face into your garden and not your neighbours,' he advises in his video. This simple tip can make a big difference in your gardening experience.
