Question about planting sunflowers

 Hi all - I live in the Washington DC area, zone 7.  I'd like to grow
sunflowers from seed this year and I'm wondering if anyone here can
tell me if it's too late in the spring to plant them in my area.  Any
information is appreciated.

Thanks!

 Washington DC area?

Sorry dude but your tag says are supposed to be in northern Virginia, across
the Potomac river. That must have been some freaking intense Memorial
weekend partying you must have been doing if you wound up wandering around
lost in DC!!!

You can still plant the sunflower seeds but the plants may overshadow your
ganja crop!!!

 


Okay, maybe not ALL information is appreciated.


Thanks.  I wish.

Depending on the variety you get, it will take between 2-3 months for
you to get to flowers on your plants.  Given that, I would think that
you can still most likely grow them.  Your seed packet should provide
this information.

For Cereus - If Fairfax is considered part of the DC Metro area,
Alexandria certainly qualifies.  Since most people are not familiar with
NoVA, it is fairly common to use DC as a point of reference.

 I suppose by your definition, Suki, I live in the Washington DC area too.

Just because the Washington DC beltway passes through northern Virginia,
that doesn't mean northern Virginia is in Washington. Since I live in the
area, I know better than that. It passes through southern Maryland too, you
should know.

Regardless, plant those sunflowers right away.
