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.
