Sunflowers to the rescue Massive numbers of sunflowers were planted in order to pull the radioactive isotopes out of these contaminated sites. This approach, known as phytoremediation, used plants to clean the environment. In scientific terms, they’re hyperaccumulators, meaning they can absorb much more of these contaminants than other plants.
Sunflowers have the unique ability to turn their flowers and keep them facing somewhat sideways and towards the sun. This is a great quality in a bloom that often towers over one's head.
Do you need flowers that grow big and beautiful within weeks? Try easy-pleasy sunflowers.
Sunflowers are easy to grow and seeds are quite inexpensive for gardeners on a budget. Even small children and the disabled can be successful sunflower gardeners. (a sunflower was the very first plant I ever grew from seed before I ever started school) They make a great garden plant for both school kids and nursing homes.
