Follow the Sun
Have you ever heard that sunflowers follow the sun? Yet, when you look at a field of sunflowers they are not moving? I wondered if sunflowers following the sun was true or just a myth, so I did a little research. Here’s what I found out from several sources including “Science” magazine.
Sunflowers Following the Sun
- Yes, when sunflowers are growing, they follow the sun from East to West and their root system reorient them toward the East over night
- No When they are full grown, mature they no longer follow the sun. They stay facing the East.
- That means their faces soak up the sun in the morning.
If you’re ever lost, and by a field of sunflowers, you can figure out the direction because full grown sunflowers will always face East. How cool is that?
