Sunflowers In Field As Bottom Row Border Stock Photography

Giant sunflowers sway in the gentle FingerLakes breeze in King Ferry in upstate NYS. The time from planting sunflowers until harvest depends on the cultivar and the growing conditions, but it usually ranges from 80 to 125 days. To harvest the seeds, you need to wait until the sunflower head droops and turns brown. Then, you need to cut the stem and store the sunflower head upside down in a dry and breathable bag4 or hang it in a dry and well-aired spot for another month before you extract the seeds.
