How tall is the average of the sunflower?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have seen 8 foot sunflowers.

There are so many different kinds of sunflowers, you have edible ones, you have those for decorative and also the ones you plant for the wild life. I just planted the TEDDY BEAR, which is a softer fuller looking, 4-5 foot height.

So an average height would be 5-8 foot, this being of your general garden variety seed stock.

Stock seeds planted for food oil does not need height to be a good plant. In fact, hybrids of crops for food consumption not using the stock for food or silage, can be shorter than previous years. Example: the new field corns being planted are for faster growth, shorter, less waste. So a 5 foot stalk of corn, versus 8-9 foot increases your yield per acre.

How many sunflower seeds come in a bag?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Probably very few. Sunflower heads are processed at the factory producing the sunflower seeds by the thousands, and in washing, sorting, etc, a great deal of "mixing" takes place. A bag of sunflower seeds probably has seeds from dozens/hundreds of heads in it.

Are sunflowers angiosperms or gymnosperms?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The flowering plants (angiosperms) are also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta. There are more than 250,000 of these seed producing plants. YES, sunflowers are included.

Characteristics of Angiosperms:

  • Flowers (the thing that sets angiosperms apart from all others)
  • Stamens (specialized to attract pollinators & modified to prevent self-fertilization)
  • Smaller sized pollen (than the gymnosperms)
  • Closed carpel (cuts down on self-fertilization and increases genetic variablity)
  • Smaller sized "egg" (than the gymnosperms)
  • Endosperm (nutritive tissue for embryo, cotyledons & seedling)

Do sunflowers come in red?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By "red dirt", if you mean the iron tinted red clay of the Southern Piedmont areas, then I can certainly testify that YES, sunflowers do grow in red dirt.

If you mean the red dirt of the Western regions, then I should mention that the upper state areas between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains produce the largest yields of sunflower seed oil in the country. It's a magnificent thing to see acres and acres of sunflowers in full bloom.

Can you drill in sunflowers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes Sunflowers can be drilled with a precision drill like Great Plains, Sunflower Mfg, Landpride. JD etc. provided they can accurate meter down to maintain a planting rate of no more than 5# / acre. Pre-emergent herbicides are a necessity since they can't be cultivated after planting.

How does a sunflower defend itself?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A sunflower does defend itself against other plants who would attempt to steal nutrients, water or light from its soil space. This is call allelopathy, and all plants have it to some degree, but sunflowers are infamous for it. It has been studied at the university level in an attempt to control weeds in a crop using the sunflower's natural toxins (poisons) versus manufactured weed killers.
