This spring I had fun making this pot of miniature sunflowers and sweet alyssum. All the plants were grown from seed. There are 3 sunflower plants in the pot. Each one will have multiple blooms, so I'm hoping for quite a show. Today the first sunflower is fully showing, so I'm excited. I may cut the alyssum back soon so that they don't get too leggy. Hopefully they will grow back nice and thick. Last year I tried the same sunflowers without success. This year worked because1. I started the plants inside and didn't put them in the pot until they were fairly far along
2. I put the pot in the front yard where there is more sun and less pests. (Last year something dug up the plants!)
Sunflowers are one of my favourite plants. I've got different varieties started in the front and back yards. It'll be fun to see what happens.
