⚠️ Don’t make this same mistake!!! If you want to grow sunflowers, place them in their own isolated location! That’s because sunflowers secrete an allelopathic chemical to slow the growth of surrounding plants 🤯. They are also HUGE nutrient and water hogs, making the situation even worse. Beans and potatoes are particularly susceptible, but it seems like onions are, too! I also experienced small ears of corn for the nearby stalks 😩. I noticed the impact up to 5 feet from each sunflower plant. They can also potentially shade other plants out, too, but since I have them on the north end of my garden, you can see that their shade impact is minimal. Ugh 😩. Posting this again from a previous year’s mistake so that hopefully you can avoid it, too! Share this this your gardening friends!
