Care & Harvest
✂️ Pruning: These Sunflowers are naturally compact and require very little pruning. We recommend checking the roots monthly and trimming any that are brown or extending past the yPod. To encourage new flower bud development, remove dead flower heads (a.k.a. deadheading).
🔎 Plant Health: Aphids are a common pest, but you can use our prevention and treatment tricks to keep pests at bay!
🌻 Harvest: The flowers can be enjoyed from your Gardyn or used as a fresh-cut flowers. Harvest them by cutting the flower just before it blooms when the petals are close to opening. Once the flowers are spent, they should be removed so the plant can focus its energy on producing the next wave of blooms.
