Twelve Sunflower Varieties & Counting

I know that many of us are currently experiencing some form of "cabin fever" with the record breaking winter that most of North America has experienced in 2014.  So, I decided to feature the 12 Sunflower varieties that I have grown in my garden to date (I have 4 more planned for planting this season!)

If you would like to see more detailed pictures of one particular variety then click on the title next to the number below each collage.


Leave a comment and tell me which one is your favorite - ENJOY!!

    What a gorgeous collection! Call me a traditionalist! While they are all beautiful, I like Soraya the best! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

      For some reason Soraya reminds me of my childhood & Raggedy Ann (I don't know why).
      Thanks so much!

    One lives and learns! Like Crystal, never realised there were as many varieties of sunflower! They're all lovely, but I think I'll stick to the golden yellow variety!! Stick in the mud, that's me!

      Thank you! The Mammoth & Giant Grey Stripe stand out in my favorites list also - they are tied for first place along with the other 10 (hahaha).

    Sunflowers are my favorite. I plant a row of mammoth sunflowers every year along my veggie garden fence as my mother gets so much joy seeing them when she comes to visit. Love this post, thanks for sharing. (visiting from Tuesdays With A Twist hop)

    I'm thinking #7 is my favorite (Soraya)? It just looks like a classic, picture-book sunflower. I love sunflowers too...something about them is just so cheerful and bright. I can't believe you've grown all these...you must have an amazing garden!

    I didn't know sunflowers came in different colors. I think the Cherry Rose is my favorite. These are some great pictures. Thanks for linking up with Countdown in Style.

    Cherry rose is lovely, really unusual. My kids planted a couple seeds in half term and they must be 15cm tall already. How fast they grow!

    I love all types of Sunflowers and they are my son't favorite. The cherry rose caught my eye here. I'll have to add those to my seed collection. Thanks!
