Sunflowers (by the Stem)

How to harvest, clean, store, prepare and preserve!

HARVEST: Sunflowers grow as either single stems or “branching”. We grow both! If you choose a single stem, you can cut as far down the stem as you’d like! If you choose a branching stem, you will cut the stem where it meets the main stem.

CLEAN/STORE/PREPARE: When you bring your sunflowers home, you will place the stems in a vessel (vase, mason jar, etc.) that you have cleaned to the point you would drink water from it. Place your sunflowers away from direct light and kids and pets that may eat them (Sunflowers are considered “pet safe” but each pet is different). Change the water, wash your vessel and snip a little of the stem every day or every other day depending on the size of the vessel (sunflowers can dirty up water quickly). This will allow you to enjoy your sunflowers for as long as possible.

PRESERVE: You can dry sunflowers for a lasting bouquet.
