Sunflower Sally Seeds
For Kids Who Garden,
Hello. I'm Sunflower Sally. Would you like to grow a crop of 2 foot tall teddy bears? People say my
big fuzzy flowers look like teddy bear faces, and gardening kids love me!
Pick a sunny place in your yard and please sow my seeds after the frosty weather is over. I don't like frozen ground. Brrr! And
be sure to give me some water after you do your planting. You'll get 25 seeds in each packet
of Sunflower Sally seeds, and that will give you lots of flowers. Be patient after sowing the seeds,
and wait for our green shoots and leaves to sprout. Then watch us grow until we are about
2 feet tall. Next, our round green buds will start to get bigger and bigger, and last of all,
they will open up, full of fluffy, yellow petals.
Best of all, you will learn how alive we are if you watch us throughout the day. We turn our
faces to follow the sun as it moves across the sky. We need the light and warmth of sunshine
to stay healthy, just like kids do! I hope you'll make room in your garden this year the cutest
sunflowers you'll ever grow.
Your Friend,
Sunflower Sally
