#37 - Branching Sunflowers

Did you know there are two main types of sunflowers to choose from - single-stem and branching? Wondering which one is right for your garden or farm? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss the ins and outs of branching sunflowers. They cover the differences between single-stem and branching sunflowers, considerations for farmers and gardeners, growing tips for branching sunflowers (including spacing, pinching, productivity, and succession planting), favorite varieties, and more. Listen to the podcast and learn how to get the most out of branching sunflowers!
