Sunflowers are usually planted before harvesttime, usually in late spring. Planting sunflowers in the fall would generally be a bad idea in Florida, because they may sprout during warmer weather (as low as 39 °F), and then freeze to death once another frost comes in. Thus you should only plant after the last frost and no less than 75 days from before the first frost.
Sunflower seeds can be planted immediately after harvest in Florida. The warm climate in Florida provides an ideal environment for sunflower seed germination and growth. Make sure to plant the seeds in well-draining soil and water them regularly for optimal growth.
The gestation period for sunflower seeds from planting to harvest is typically around 80-120 days, depending on the variety. It is important to check the specific seed packet or seedling information for the exact timeframe for the sunflower variety you are growing.

Yes, a sunflower is a flowering plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It produces yellow or orange blooms that resemble the sun, hence its name.
A sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a flowering annual and is a dicot.Monocot: perennial bulb plant with petals in groups of 3. Ex.: tulip, daffodil, irisDicot: annual seed plant with petals in groups of 4 or 5. Ex: sunflower, zinna, petunia.
Yes. A sunflower has broad leaves
There is no need to do this with domesticated sunflower seed.
A sunflower seed is an achene which means a simple dry fruit. The sunflower seed are referred to as the fruit of the Sunflower because it is produce by the plant.
The shell of a sunflower which is white and black striped protects the seed inside of it. The seed, if planted becomes a sunflower plant.

"Oilseed" means the plant seed is rich in oil. Sunflower seed, cottonseed, some varieties of squash, corn, etc. contain a lot of oil and are grown to harvest the seed and its oil as opposed to harvesting to eat the plant and/or its fruit. "NEC" I cannot answer.

No. Sunflowers are a plant. At least one company has come up with a beverage made from the seed kernels and they label it a "sunflower beverage".
For the sunflower (Helianthus annuus), the seed is a multilayered future plant that is enjoyed as a food source by many. What you see, when you have a sunflower seed, is the hard shell. It can be all black or striped. Break that open and you have the actual seed. The outer most covering on the seed, usually you don't notice it, is call the integumentary or seed coat.
EVERY plant produces fruit. fruit is a "seed holder." without the fruit, and the seed it contains, no plant could reproduce itself. in the case of the sunflower, the FRUIT is the HULL surrounding the seed. the HULL is an example of a SIMPLE DRY FRUIT, otherwise known botanically as a CYPSELA.
