    Flopping is to a plants benefit. If you let those go to seed as is, you’ll see what I mean next year

    I always use maximillian sunflower as an example when I proselytize about native landscaping.

    Why wouldn’t you want a plant in your garden that 1) is beautiful, 2) doesn’t need water, 3) grows like crazy, 4) comes back every year, 5) whose only problem is growing too big?

    Tie and stake them. Also avoid using fertilizer because a lot of plants aren’t meant to grow so large
