The Sunflower is also known by its botanical name ‘Helianthus’, which originates from the Greek words helios =sun and anthos =flower. They bloom from June until October: as long as there’s plenty of sun these flowers will be happy! They adore the sun in such a way that their heads follow the sun during the day, making sure they get every sunbeam they can get. At night, the head turns to the east ready for the next morning’s sunrise. This is known as ‘heliotropism’.
