Mayfield Florist offers the best selection of sunflowers in Tucson. We purchase many of the sunflowers we sell from local and regional flower farms. Our sunflowers are absolutely gorgeous. They have long stems and beautiful large blooms. Our design team loves sunflowers and has created a number of absolutely fabulous sunflower themed arrangements. If you don't see the sunflower arrangement you want on our site, just contact one of our flower shops. We can custom design the exact sunflower arrangement you want.
Sunflowers are one of the most recognizable flowers around, with their giant heads and bright yellow petals. They're also incredibly versatile, as they can be used as food and medicine, in addition to being grown for their ornamental value. Sunflowers are a favorite flower in floral design, and for good reason. They're large, bright, and cheerful, and they add a lot of visual interest to any arrangement. When designing with sunflowers, you want to keep in mind that they have a very distinct look: their petals are large and flat, with little to no variation in color from one petal to the next. This makes them ideal for creating bold arrangements with lots of color contrast.
Sunflowers also work well with other flowers because they're so large—you can use them as the centerpieces or accents of an arrangement without needing much else to fill out the look. If you do want extra flowers in your arrangement but still want it primarily made up of sunflowers, try using smaller (or "mini") versions of other flowers like daisies or roses as filler between your larger sunflowers.
Sunflowers grow to be about six feet tall, and are usually planted in rows that are three feet apart from each other. Sunflowers generally grow best in warm climates—the farther south you go in the U.S., the better. The sunflower is native to North America, where it's been cultivated since before European settlers arrived on these shores. Today, most commercial crops are grown in large farms in California, Georgia, Kansas and some smaller farms in Arizona as well.
