Is the sunflower a sunflower? Is the sunflower a perennial plant?

1. Is the sunflower a sunflower?

Sunflowers are not sunflowers; they are two completely different plants. Because both plants are light-loving and will only grow vigorously and bloom on schedule in an environment with sufficient light, their names are very similar.

2. The difference between the two

1. Appearance: The sunflower has a small flower disk and a variety of colors. In addition to yellow, there are also red, pink, orange, etc. The plant height is usually between 10 and 30 cm. The sunflower's flowers are only yellow when they bloom, and its overall shape is much taller than the former. Usually it is between 150-300 cm. There is an obvious difference in appearance and it is easy to distinguish.

2. Seeds: The seeds of sunflowers are very small, and some varieties even have no seeds, and the seeds cannot be eaten. The seeds of sunflower are much larger and edible. They are the melon seeds we often eat in our daily lives, and can also be refined into sunflower oil. It is also easy to tell the difference by putting the seeds of the two together.

3. Is the sunflower a perennial plant?

Sunflower is not a perennial plant, but an annual herb. After the flowering period ends every year, it slowly withers. However, its reproduction is relatively simple. Whether it is by sowing or cutting, it grows relatively quickly and has a high survival rate. It will continue to bloom and grow after being cared for soon after planting.
