Facts About Sunflowers
They are native to the American continent. Sunflowers were cultivated in North America as far back as 3000 B.C.E. They were used for food, medicine, dye and oil. They were brought to the rest of the world by Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s.
Sunflowers display an interesting behavior. The young blossoms will face east in the morning and follow the sun across the sky. When the flowers get heavy with seeds, the stems stiffen and the flower heads remain facing east.
