Strawberry blonde sunflowers are definitely going to be your next gardening project. No, trust me. You're gonna want some.

See?
How pretty are they? Strawberry blonde sunflowers, aka Helianthus annuus, are actually pretty common! They're easy to grow and easy to care for, which makes them perfect for beginner gardeners.
These bad boys get pretty tall, too.
We're talking human-size. They average between five and six feet, which means you may need to give them a bit of support as they grow. Wooden dowels, it's your time to shine!
They bloom within two to four months of planting them, too!
The range seems to be 55 to 100 days, depending on the conditions and your individual sunflowers.
Speaking of conditions, these sunflowers prefer full sun (duh), and moist, well-drained soil. Try to keep them away from windy locations.
So, are you going to plant some of your own?
If I had a garden, I'd definitely pair some strawberry blonde sunflowers with succulents and big, leafy plants.
Nothing is better than gorgeous flowers that will perk up your mood as soon as you see them.
