I planted sunflowers for the first time this year 2020 and how amazing are these sunflowers! The seed were sent to me as a promotion to help the bees to thrive. Absolutely, love that idea to store the seeds in a mason jar as I was wondering the best way to store them and remember the next year to plant them. Many thanks for your video and ideas!
Hi Lisa , yay you ! So happy to hear you have sunflowers and bees 🐝. Super combination .
The best way to store the sunflower seeds is to make sure they are super dry before putting them in the mason jars . Then find a cool dark place to leave the jars in and you are all set until it’s time to plant the sunflower seeds in spring . Happy planting 👍🌻🤗
This is awesome! My husband and I planted sunflowers for the first time this year and weren't sure how to harvest for next year. This was super informative. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your beautiful comment. You just made my day !😊🌻
Hi. From Kansas. We are known for sunflowers 🌻 but I just started my own little garden. You have been the best at helping with my new journey. Excited to watch and learn more . Thank you , you are the best 🌻❤️
Hi Kelly… thank you so much for all your information on sunflowers. I grew some for the first time this year (2022) per your instructions and it has been so joyful to see them grow and bloom. I have always loved sunflowers but now I love sunflowers. I will never go without sunflowers in my garden again. ❤️🌻
Beautiful dog ! 🥰Thank you, I'm new at gardening and my Grandma used to have Hudgens sunflowers in her back yard so I'm super excited to plant my own!
Thank you for posting! I like that shirt.... ( we live near San Diego.. :-) Growing and sharing sunflowers is so much fun.
Chris Roche What a great place to live . I agree with you on the sunflower sharing 👍🌸
My first year of planting three different kinds of sunflowers and it turned out amazing. Grateful to find you Chrome and UA-cam. Now I know what I need to do in harvesting for next year. Thank you tremendously!
Such a fresh and organic harvest
Thank you for sharing. My boyfriend gave me a bouquet of flowers with a sunflower head. Im waiting for it to dry out so I can plant them on my mom’s garden ☺️
Love sunflowers- my favorite. Thank you for the helpful information.
I just love the natural firefly sounds in the bg
So glad to hear that. I get lost in the sounds of nature too. So soothing . Thank you for your comment 😊🌸
Hi Kelly,
I planted sunflowers for the first time in 2021 here in South Australia, Australia. What I love about these flowers is that they just make me happy and bring me joy. So much so that I have made it a mission to plant them every year from now on. I watched your video on how to harvest the seeds and plan to do them and share with friends. I'm also going to check out your other videos just because you have such a nice vibe about you. Have a nice day :)
Hi. Just come across your video today. I'm from New Zealand so my seasons are opposite. I tried planting Sun Flower from seeds that were given to me, for first time. I planted from in my greenhouse early spring and transplanted to a spot in my garden at start of summer. They worked out very well and want to try growing from my current crop. Our summer season is about to come to an end. I found your video very helpful. Thank you.
Planted my first Black Russian sunflower and it is now in full bloom! That got me hooked to growing more, the only limit is space!! The bright yellow really cheers up the garden:) And yes she's hungry for sunlight and will bend her whole stem out searching for the sun!
Thank you, very helpful! I’m looking forward to harvesting my seeds
So happy to hear that Laura . Happy sunflower seed harvesting flower friend 🌸🌻🌻🌻

South of Boston, MA Thank you for this video. It was so informative. I had no idea how to do this, and now I'm ready for the day to be able to do it. There's no other satisfying feeling than seeing your next year's crop come from your own garden!

So glad you found the sunflower tips helpful. Thank you for your kind comment 🌻
Thanks for the video. (SE Florida zone 10a). I have to start my seeds here in pots because of the squirrels and rabbits, which are relentless. It's my first year growing sunflowers with success and now I know how to harvest seeds for next year. I may go crazy with my SF population!
Lovely checking out the sunflower seeds harvesting vid Kelly! My giant sunflower heads are giving the squirrels and parrot a feast and I don't have the heart to take more than one head or so for seeds :) from the outskirts of Richmond Park, Greater London
Hahaahahha. That's nice. I planted about 200 seeds to do the long laneway and only have about 25. The chipmunks got to them before the birds. lol.
Thanks for the helpful information, my green fingered 4 year old will be really happy to regrow sunflowers next year.
Oh thats so exciting. Kids and sunflowers go great together ! 🌻🙂
Thank you. Short and sweet and educational 👌

We have a sunflower that is absolutely massive. It's easily over 10 feet tall and the stalk feels like a tree trunk. Hopefully the seeds we collected will work out!!
Oh my goodness . Sounds like it may be a mammouth sunflower . They are glorious ! I'll bet the seeds are giant . So fun 👍👍
Thank you so much :)
That's a very clear video and I'll harvest my sunflowers next week. Thank you so much. Maureen Ireland.

Thanks Kelly,
I planted sunflowers for the first time this summer in Victoria, Australia. The seeds that germinated best were the ones planted point down. Is there a best direction to plant the seeds?
Looking forward to harvesting the seeds and planting hundreds of Sunflowers next spring.
Great info. Will try this 🌻
Thank you Yvonne . Please do! 🌸😊

Thanks for the instructions. My first batch are not quite ready yet.
Sure thing happy to help . Good luck with your first batch of sunflowers . I’m sure you will love growing them for years and years .
thanks for the video, really loved my sunflowers this year and hope to have a bigger patch next year :-)
Hey Irene, So happy to hear you are a fellow sunflower lover !!! Here's wishing you a spectacular sunflower crop for next year!🌻
I have 2 questions. Can I cut my dying sunflower heads earlier and let the head dry out somewhere out of sight before harvesting the seeds so it's not an eye sore? Second question is how long does it take for seeds to dry out before I can replant? I live in California, so we don't get frost seasons very often.

Hi kelly.... I myself have a green thumb and decided to plant few flowers from seeds. Have planted sunflower seeds, Daisy seeds, hollyhocks and dahlias. They have become small saplings now...but it feels sooooo good to see them grow .
Prachi,

Hi Kelly, Thanks for the helpful video. I plan on saving seeds from my miniatures. Do you think it would be alright to put my flower heads in my dehydrator overnight to speed up the drying process?
Hi Jennifer, i dont actually know if a dehydrator will change the dynamic of the seed but my gut tells me it might. i've never tried that method. Please let me know if you try it and if you had sunflowers bloom the following year.
Thanks for the great video, I just subbed

Hi from a stones throw away in Hamilton, NJ!
Hey Sara👋👋👋 Oh you you are super close 👌🤗👋🌎🌸👏
Hi Kelly, nice informative video you have about sunflowers. I grow sunflowers every year , the giant variety and the dwarf ones. This year, I decided to save all the seeds . I dried the seeds under the sun...will they still germinate next year?
Thank you for your sunflower question 👏🌻. Yes as long as you harvested them when they were super mature and plump . They should give you lovely sunflowers next summer . 🤗🤗🌻🌻🌻
Wow! Your sunflowers have been left to die out, quite a bit more than other UA-camrs who are showing us the harvesting....! Does it make a big difference?
Viewing from England. I think I planted my seeds to late this year. What is the latest you can plant them. I have seen big heads of sunflowers on sale in fruit and veg shop. The back of at least some of them seems a bit damp and they are partly green. What should I do to store these seeds?
You can also start your sunflower seeds, before the last frost, by putting them in a folded paper towel, sprayed with water & put them in a container like a shallow plastic container with a lid. That keeps the moisture in & in about a week or so they will have sprouted a root tendril, then you can plant them.
Super sunflower growing tip ! Thank you for sharing it with our Flower Tribe . 👏👏👏🤗🌻
I just got a pack of the Mammoth Organic Sunflower seeds 🌻🗓
Yay!!!! Loveee these giant sunflowers 🌻
Thanks for sharing. I recently harvested my mammoth sunflower. However, there were no seeds in the husk. Why is that?
That’s great thank you Kelly who would’ve known?
Hi Daniel, I know right ? Love these crazy sunflowers 🌻 🌸
You save your flower seeds. How is that possible when (my understanding that most sunflowers are hybrids). How do you get the same flower from open pollination? Love this video.
Hi Avis , awesome sunflower question! 👏👏 I grow a lot of different varieties of sunflowers . I also have a honeybee hive so lots of cross pollination takes place in the field . The seeds I harvest give me flowers the following year that are a mixture of the varieties. It’s pretty cool to see the blends . 🌸🌸🌻🌻🌻
What type of flower seeds would you like me to make videos about that will show you how to harvest them?
Cucuzza gourd seeds/vine seeds.
Is it okay to use zip locks
Pomegranate!
@@chembelyndelacernasandoy3566 Ive read that storing the seeds in ziplocks can sometimes be a problem if there is still a lot of moisture on the seed since it traps the moisture in the baggie. Great question thank you 🌻😊
@@ruttur1072 Ahhhh i love pomegranate. i'll see if i can grow these here in NJ 👍😊
What about Zinias? I love them with the sunflowers! Do I need a support stake for the sunflowers?
I Iove zinnias too . I made a video showing how to harvest their seeds too
➡️ ua-cam.com/video/1ds6x-O9M_Y/v-deo.html
I don’t add supports to my sunflowers . The stems are pretty strong 💪
Great video! Thank you. I removed my seeds and they have been drying out on a paper towel in my garage for about a week. Can the seeds become too dried out to germinate again?
Hi Karen , i dont think so . As long as you keep them away from sunlight and a heat source they should be good . In a few weeks, you can put them in a paper bar or mason jars and store them in a cool dark place like a basement until spring comes .Happy gardening ! 🌸😊Kelly
Hey Kelly, I had a really cool looking sunflower pop up this year, and I want to save some seeds for planting. My question though, is whether I can plant the seeds directly from the sunflower head- into the dirt; as they are coming off easily right now. Do I absolutely have to store them for a couple months, and completely dry them for them to grow? Or could I just throw them in the dirt immediately? I threw a couple in the dirt about a week ago and nothing has popped up yet. Thanks!
Im looking for the same answer.
Thank you for great videos! For how long can we keep the seeds?
Hey Carmen , most seeds are usually good for at least one year . i usually plant mine the following spring . 🌻🌻🌻🌻
I had my first sunflower field this summer in MN 1 hour south of the Twin Cities. I had no idea what I was doing. We planted them very close together to drown out the weeds of a field that had not been used for over 40 years. It worked well. We had so many flowers and it was so much fun. I tried to harvest the seeds from the sunflowers. I put them in a bag and left it open to help the seeds dry, but within a few weeks, they were all moldy. I'm guessing some would have been okay, but I tossed the entire thing. Any advice on how to dry out a lot of seeds. Also, have you ever dried the flowers themselves for wreaths or a dried flower bouquet and if so, how? Thank you so much for your videos. I love them! Ann
Hi Ann , oh wow ! I'll bet your sunflowers were amazing ! Well done .
I think that there must have been moisture on the seeds when you stored them . I cut mine from the field when the sunflower seeds are super plump and i can easily pluck them from the center . The i hang them upside down in my barn for a few weeks to make sure they are super dry before i put them in paper bags or jars to store. I also put t hem in a cool dark place .
To dry them out for dried flower arrangements, harvest them when they blow full open and hang them upside down in a cool dry place or leave in a vase with no water . make sure they have lots of airflow around them .

I thought Cujo was going to get you for a second there!
Haaa she does look a little like Cujo when she comes charging at me from across the farm 😃🌸
Thank you
Sure thing . Happy to share the flower love 🌻🌻🌻🤗
Hi Kelly! So I’m super new doing this and I love it! I live in Hawai’i so it’s always hot and sunny. Should I wait until the flowers are dry to start the whole process again? And once the flower is dead, do I pull out the whole plant ? Thank you Ana I really enjoy your videos!
Hey Naty, i think thats a good idea . Ive never grown them in a paradise climate like yours but the back to back growing season makes sense to me . Just make sure that the sunflower seeds you harvest are completely mature on the plant . They should be very plump and will be pretty easy to remove .

@@KellyLehman this is amazing! Thank you! I will joined right now 🌻
Thank you for a very informative video. Can you please tell me how to stop the squirrels from digging up my sunflower seeds?
😊
You are very welcome . You can try surrounding the perimeter of your garden bed with coffee grounds, cayenne pepper or irish spring soap shavings . Dried coyote urine sprinkeled around the garden helps too . I have these items and more listed in my amazon shop page . here is a link ➡️ amazon.com/shop/kellylehman
Thanks for sharing! ❤️ May I ask why do I have to wait a year to replant sunflower seeds?
Super sunflower seed question !👋🌻. I need to wait a year here in NJ since the temps are too cold after the seeds drop to replant right away. If you live in a warm climate you could try to plant them much sooner .
Thanks. I plan on saving some dwarf seeds for next year. I hope the squirrels are not attracted to them. Have a good one from west Tennessee
That’s a great idea . The squirrels and mice live the sunflower seeds so make sure you keep them in a place where they won’t find them 🌸🌻🌻
Thank you for checking in from west Tennessee 🌸❤️😁🌻👍🌎
The weather still looks fine and the flowers are so dry,i live in Ireland so its a bit wild here at the moment,should I clip and dry indoors?ty
Hi Kelly! Thank you for this great video. I bought a few sunflowers from a local Orchard and can't wait to save the seeds to try and grow them myself. But anytime we've tried planting the seeds they get eaten by squirrels and chipmunks. I'm in Northern NJ and our property backs up to a state park and we get lots of wildlife that eat a lot of our flowers and vegetables. Is there any way we can plant the sunflower seeds to prevent them from being eaten before they even have a chance to germinate? Thank you very much!🌻🐿
Just saw your comment. I plant mine in those little free trays you get your annuals in, and cover with light screen until I an take the seed off carefully. Then transplant. ♥️
When replanting the seeds, do you need to take them out of their shells? Thanks for the video.
Spuer sunflower seed question . Nope , plant them with the shell on them . 🌸🌻😊
Good job thx for sharing PRETTY LADY BE SAFE
Thank you flower friend 🌸
Do you think if I put one of those little silica packs that come in a shoebox in, it would help keep moisture at bay?
I've never tried using them to keep moisture out . Interesting thought . 🌸😊
