#209: Growing Sunflowers with Jonathan Leiss (Best of '22 Replays)

Big Podcast logo for site (1)


Part of our “Best of 2022” replay series, listen again as Lisa speaks with Jonathan Leiss of Spring Forth Farm about growing sunflowers!

Talking about one of my favorite subjects with Jonathan Leiss of Spring Forth Farm located in Hurdle Mills, North Carolina: sunflowers. We both agree that sunflowers can be major contributors to the bottom line of most flower-growing operations.  Jonathan’s go-to sunflower is Vincent’s Choice with a new addition this year of Premier for its short seed-to-bloom time and shorter height.
