How to Save Sunflower Seeds #seedsaving

I can't imagine my garden without sunflowers. The birds often plant seeds for me, but I always save seeds from my favorite blooms to plant again and share with others. ⁣
⁣Signs that the sunflower seeds are ready to harvest:⁣
⁣• The flower petals dry out and begin to fall off.⁣
⁣• The back of the flower begins to turn from green to yellow and eventually brown.⁣
⁣• The seeds are plump and developed.⁣
⁣• Left to dry on the stalk, the seeds turn from white to striped or brown.⁣
⁣Save seeds to plant again or eat and enjoy confection (edible) varieties of sunflowers. ⁣
