Sunflowers for doves, also known as bluebirds’ bluebells or sunflowers, have been a favorite companion of man since time immemorial. Planting sunflowers for doves is a popular method of planting a flower garden that provides a colorful companion to its colorful neighbors throughout the year. Sunflowers for doves are an attractive alternative to the classic pink and white “parrot flower,” as well as other common flower choices such as roses, tulips, lilies, and daisies.

Sunflowers are hardy perennials. They do not grow taller than 4 feet. Most varieties will remain green throughout the year, which makes them suitable for planting just about any season. These traits make them an excellent choice for growing anywhere in your yard, including areas prone to extreme temperatures, such as on a slant lawn or on a sunny window sill. Sunflowers are a low maintenance plant, which makes them an excellent choice for gardens and backyards everywhere.

Planting sunflowers for doves should begin in spring, after the last frosts have disappeared. Keep in mind that planting any flower can require some preparatory work, so it is best to plan your planting a little in advance. Begin planning where you want to place your sunflower garden rows by looking at the sunflower varieties that would be your best choice for planting in your area. Choose a color that blends well with the color of your grass, soil, and shrubs, but stay away from darker colors or greener grasses. You should also be aware that planting sunflowers for doves should be done in the late summer or fall, before the leaves on the plants change colors.

The most important part of planting sunflowers for doves is making sure that the sunflower seeds are planted deeply into the ground. Before you do that, however, you should make sure that your soil is ready for the new flower beds. Prepare the area by breaking up large pieces of cardboard into equal-sized cubes, which you will use to spread the broken up cardboard throughout the area. The broken pieces of cardboard will act as a cushion between the ground and the sunflower seeds, which will need to be planted deeply into the ground.

The next step in planting sunflowers for doves is to remove the old, dry grass that surrounds the flower bed. Do this before you begin planting new sunflowers, or else the grass will not take kindly to the new arrivals. Once the grass is gone, you can begin digging holes for the sunflower garden beds. Be sure to dig them just slightly larger than the grass itself, or else the sunflower seeds will not be able to survive.

When planting sunflowers for doves, it is important that you plant them as deeply as possible into the earth, with the deepest parts of the flower bed resting directly on the soil. You can then pack the holes with compost and dirt, or you can simply lay gravel in the bottom of the holes. Be sure to place a small peat moss pit in the center of the flower bed, as this will help protect the flower from the dampness that can sometimes occur when sunflower seeds are wet.

When planting sunflowers for doves, it is a good idea to water the flour mixture just before the seedlings come out of their burrows. This will help them develop a strong root system that will last them through the entire growing season. It is also a good idea to fertilize your sunflowers just before you start planting them. Fertilizer should be applied just once every three weeks during the growing season, and then once a month in the fall. Just follow up with a slow-release fertilizer in the spring. Sunflower seeds tend to have a higher rate of germination than other types of seeds.

Sunflowers for doves make an attractive and useful garden accessory. The beautiful colors of these colorful plants provide a focal point for any garden or yard. You can place them in areas that are not getting full of shade, such as along a walkway, patio, or porch. Sunflowers are easy to grow and yield wonderful results.
