| I grow them here in Oklahoma, but not in my Potager. They are invasive. They would be a nice addition in one corner if you can plant them in a deep bottomless container so they cannot spread elsewhere. I got mine years ago while living in Louisiana. A lot of folks there eat them or did when I lived there, anyway. They are part of the LA French quisine, for sure! I love the little sunflowers in late summer. Make beautiful flower arrangements and don't make me sneeze like most sunflowers do. They were one of the little sunflowers that Holly Hobbie held in her hand, for any of you "Flower Children" who remember her from the 70's. Sunflowers are the symbol of Spiritualism because "They Always Seek the Light". ~ sweetannie4u |
