Though summer's on its way out, sunflowers can keep the bright, sunny feeling lasting into the cool Autumn days.
We sometimes are asked  about the best way to keep your sunflowers looking fresh for longer. You came to the right place! Check out these instructions from our website on how to keep them looking lively.
