Did you know that sunflowers have a fascinating history throughout time? Just like tomatoes, potatoes, and corn, the vibrant plants didn't originate in Europe. They were actually cultivated in North America dating back to 3000 BC! Originally, they were developed for food, medicine, dye, and oil.

Over the centuries, uses of sunflowers have also changed. In Mexico, the flowers were widely believed to soothe chest pains.

A number of Native American tribes also agreed with the plant's curing properties.

The Cherokee tribes utilized an infusion of sunflower leaves to treat kidney problems while the Dakota tribes brought it out to relieve chest pain and pulmonary troubles. Much later, they were exported to the rest of the world by Spanish conquistadors around 1500.

They were even brought to Russia by royalty: Tsar Peter the Great was immensely intrigued by the bright flowers he witnessed in the Netherlands that he took some back home to Russia.

They then became very popular when people discovered that sunflower seed oil was not banned during the Lent period, unlike the other popular oils, the Russian Orthodox Church restricted its community from using.

By the nineteenth century, Russia was planting two million acres of sunflowers every year.

One thing is for sure across cultures, sunflowers are a symbol of faith and loyalty, optimism and happiness, long life and good luck. They are associated with all things cheerful and really are a vibrant flower.

The flower doesn't only look like the sun, but also requires plenty of it. They grow optimally with around six to eight hours of sunlight a day, but more is even better.

Sunflowers may grow as high as 16 feet tall, although many varieties have been developed to bloom at different heights. Sunflowers planted too close together will compete and not blossom to their full potential.

If you are looking for giant sunflowers, be sure to buy seeds specifically for the super tall varieties. There are some dwarf versions of sunflowers, such as the Teddy Bear, which will not grow very tall.

For thousands of years sunflowers have greatly inspired the world's most creative minds in the art and literary world. Brilliant artists such as Vincent Van Gogh have produced famous and iconic paintings of this flower, so allow us to inspire you with our top sun flower puns and Instagram captions!
